balenaEtcher setup-1.5.57 will NOT finish installing on my Dell XPS Win10 computer. It’ll start the install, but at about 40% it does not proceed further. What’s the problem? ---

@kees11 do older versions install fine? Do other electron applications install fine? ---

Hi @namanjohnson101 , As asked by my colleague, have you been able to install older versions of balenaEtcher, or any other electronJS based application without issues? This would help us try and determine if this is something we may have changed (such as the installer code), or maybe the electron library has changed. Thanks and best regards, Heds ---

Hi there Thank you for pursuing the problem. It’s a bugger. I used Etcher on another computer - but cannot repeat it. The interface was great. ---

Apologies for resurrecting a necro’d thread. I was having the same problem with 1.5.101. I did have the issue with the same version mentioned here. I had to go back and install 1.4.9 which installed fine. The app then asked me to upgrade to 1.5.33 and I went and downloaded that, uninstalled 1.4.9 and the 1.5.33 install went without a hitch. I then uninstalled and successfully installed 1.5.57 (the version mentioned here). After, I again uninstalled and was able to successfully install 1.5.101. ---

dude, I created an account just to say THANK YOU!!! I installed 1.4.9 with no problem. Uninstalled it, then the latest version would FINALLY install more than 40 percent or so.
