Product support

Double-clicking the .exe file opens a window asking what application to open etcher with.

Hi, thank you for letting us know about this potential issue.

I have a few questions to help us better understand the situation:

  • Are you executing this on Windows?
  • Where exactly did you download the executable from? A full URL would be very helpful.
  • Do you have any screenshots to show the error itself?

Thanks,
Josh

Thanks, Josh
When launching a fresh install of BaleneEtcher, downloaded from Balena.io into Zorin 17.2, double-clicking the .exe file in the extraction folder opens a system window asking what app I want to open it with. I bypassed the problem on another system.

@tron Since Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu (Technical details - Zorin OS), you will need to install using the .deb installer and not .exe (as those are for Windows). I know this is now quite an old thread, but wanted to leave this here just in case.
