Edengineer: Windows 10 1803 - Smart Screen

if you're talking about this warning:

then you can install/run anyway if you click on "More Info" (will display an override button)

yeah but after you click run anyway the app doesn't open on 1803...

oh right I see you're talking about the new redstone update

well I'm not sure what could be wrong (haven't got it yet) but thanks for reporting

do you have that warning at each startup? or only on update/install?

only open update / install. after the first time every time you try and launch the app it goes to look for update then nothing happens.

Apparently the update has been postponed because of a bug that could be related : https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-holds-releasing-windows-10-version-1803-public

I guess you got the update because you opted-in the insider program? Anyway we'll see when the update comes out.

OK, I have managed to get the app to run. The short cut the install process creates does not work. However, I found the EDEngineer exe is this folder "C:\Users\matt\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\J74WTOH4.YDK\CX0945YH.9NL\eden..tion_b9c6c2d0b4f2eae5_0001.0001_818e7c7fbb21a123"

When I run that exe things work as expected (although since I have not tested exhaustive I cannot rule a problem still lurks.

I would guess that something in the update has changed how stuff gets in installed in a way that breaks the install process for ED Engineers.

Confirmed that Build 1803 was the issue. I just rolled back Windows, and now ED Engineers installs and runs without a problem.

putting the smartscreen to off seems to fix the problem although it's not very good... if at least it showed a warning like it says it does, it would be good enough.

Can confirm ED Engineer would not launch in the April Update (build 17134.rs4_release.180410-1804) until after I set SmartScreen to "Off" ("Warn" was not actually warning; it just silently prevented the app from launching).

confirmed here, but... you can turn smartscreen off, run the app once, making sure you uncheck "ask every time" for the unable to identify publisher dialog, then once it's running, turn smartsceen back on. After that, EDEngineer will launch successfully with smartscreen still enabled

Hi

Even after disabling smartscreen on an updated Win 10, EDenginner update seems to be stopped and EDenginner is not warking anymore.

Hello.
My EdEngineer also does not start anymore from the shortcut... works only starting the exe directly Windows 10 1803...

Edit: I have run setup again, now it works.

Can confirm that jimbo5678 method works for me.

Also can confirm that @jimbo5678 's method works for me too.
Windows 10 Pro N, v1803 (Build 17134.48)

I downloaded the app yesterday on the latest version of Windows 10 - just installed and updated and had the same issue. I copied the files to my desired location, ran the exe and it worked.

I have a similar problem, but can not solve it this way.
I wanted to install the newest version. (Not RUN it, at least the old version runs just fine, but INSTALL it).
Windows blocks me from doing this and even switching SmartScreen/OneClick and all other security measures OFF does NOT permit me to install this app.
I was just on the Microsoft help lime for 45 minutes and he was as confused as I am and wasn't able to solve the issue.

The problem is escalated, I am waiting for a callback on Saturday morning (I only found this thread afterwards) and can report if they find anything.

Brief update: The VER LAST troubleshooting step in https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer/wiki/Troubleshooting-Issues solves the issue.
The value can be DISabled again afterwards, but as reported by others, the SmartScreen must be switched off, otherwise the EDEngineer app can NOT be started.
