FGU won't install correctly. No EXE, updater crashes

[PaganBlack]

Re-downloaded the installer
Deleted the smiteworks folder
Ran the installer
The updater launches, i see a green bar and part of a blue bar with no text in the window, then crashes.

If it was just happening on mine, i might go that route but this is happening to a few people. I’m having this happen in 2 different computers. One on my laptop and the other on my friends computer.

mine wont install either, first time ever trying. Turned off all firewalls, just opens then closes straight away

Apologies for the upheaval. We're trying to work out a few installer issues, and going through some challenges in getting some of the "prerequisite" steps cleaned up. I need our developer, Ryan, to reach out to ask for the details he needs; but he is on Central US time so off already. I've asked him to jump in this thread, and provide more detail on what he needs to resolve.

In the mean time, I've put the latest build of the installer at the original download link.
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filel...WebInstall.exe

And, I've put the previous working build of the installer at this download link.

When providing feedback on installation/updater issues; please clarify whether the issue you are having is with the installer (i.e. before the FG updater launches) or with the updater program itself. They are two completely different applications, so we need to make sure we're looking at the right one.

I ran into this today too. I think the problem is that the new installer isnt doing credential check first; it skipped that step entirely and the window showed "unknown" where my username should be.

The previous installer worked ok for me.

I having the same issue with this exe as before (same as others)

And, I've put the previous working build of the installer at this download link.

After running this, and then running the FantasyGroundsUpdater.exe file from the Program Files folder I created, it seems to run fine (doesn't hang or crash and is installing now)

Based on the above, the issue is with the FGUWebInstall.exe? (Even though it's the FantasyGroundsUpdater.exe that hangs/crashes)

EDIT: Also possibly related is that the Updater (currently running) says V4.0.0 at the top right. Before (when it was hanging/crashing) it said v0.33

Also what I saw. Was 0.33, then when functional 4.0.0.

Using FGWebInstallPrev.exe seems to have worked for me as well.

For troubleshooting: The issue with the previous one was that it would freeze and crash when running FantasyGroundsUpdater.exe. It would crash after about 20-ish seconds. it also did NOT load any information in the popup window (the one that says "welcome to fantasy grounds"), and the whole update would run excessively laggy. Running the FGUWebInstall.exe seems to run without issues.

I am also having the same issue. interestingly enough, if I am really quick, I can access the settings while it is loading and almost have enough time to paste my license key but have not been able to.
The previous updater works fine.
