Hello Everyone,
I recently installed mobiflight and decided to move it from the original install location. I created a new folder and put the install exe into it. Now when I try to run the installer, nothing happens. I get a quick flash of an hourglass cursor and that's it. No files get extracted and the install log just shows several logs stating "Installer Start". I have tried deleting everything, using different names for the folder, several restarts, and still nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This could happen when you place the MF-Installer in a "secured-by-windows" folder or sub-folder like "Program Files".

Create a directory outside of these folders whereever you like and start it again.

Hi

As Kai said.... Mostly a secured folder problem. Try c:/MF

Also sometimes the best idea is to download MF installer for new from our Homepage.

If this not work..... Contact me on Discord.... then i can send you the ZIP file instead. This workes normaly perfect and also future updates work fine!

Good Luck !
