Cheat Engine 7.3 Installer Failing
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2021 7:51 pm
Hello all,
I am on Windows 10, and I have had 7.2 installed for a long time, and when I tried to install 7.3 recently it failed completely. There are no error messages. The installer seems to think it has successfully installed the software. Once I click "Next" on the first screen, it immediately jumps to the "Cheat Engine is now installed" window with a checkmark to launch the software. However nothing is installed.
The folder I was running the installer from had an exclusion from Windows Defender, my only current anti-virus, and I even excluded the file itself. I later disabled Windows Defender and got the same results.
I am still able to re-install version 7.2 without issue.
Why might these installers be failing, and how can I fix it?
