Great idea Elv and indeed, this was ticked off by default.
But to no avail sadly. I think this is internet explorer only.

Do you happen to use a Windows SmartScreen? I found some information that that would need to be told to ignore the message also?

Allo Again,
Perhaps an odd way of going about this, but you say you installed it correctly on another pc? Is there a way you can use that download on this pc by chance? either by thumb drive or other means?

Hi Elv,

Yes i think i'm using windows defender and screening but i can't seem to find any parameters to turn off that are relevant.
I have also tried turning off my (avast) antivir briefly but no result.
I can run MH on a laptop so that's already perfect for what i need.
Mostly i would like to find out what is causing this and a clean install after a fix would make my day when that happens.
Maybe someone will stumble onto my post here and have a simple solution, we can always hope :)

Ok...

Today i wanted to instal the new cura to print some harry potter glasses for my kid and it returned a similar error...
Needless to say there is more going on at this point :o

I'm almost ashamed to say i overlooked the fact that i run my desktop on my new NAS...
Because i often work in folders on my desktop to do quick stuff i have located it on the raid system which is safer than my system disk.
Since i wanted to install from my desktop it was actually trying to install from a network machine to my wks hence the security barrier.

The solution was to copy the installer to a disk that is 'in' my system et voila ..

/insert sad & dramatic violin music /
So thank you all (especially Elv) for helping me solve this, thinking with me and going the extra mile.
It didn't help that i was in the middle of a harsh deadline, otherwise i might have tried this sooner saving us all some sleepless nights.
MakeHuman is now residing on my main machine. *yay*

Cheers all.

I am so delighted to hear you solved this problem! Btw I did find a problem in windows defender that can cause this too its a setting called controlled folder access in ransomware in windows security, hopefully that may help someone some time also! grats on your big win and good luck going forward with your software. Hope you enjoy the makehuman now that you are not frustrated enough to do art!

Hi Elv, your determination and help were very welcome indeed.

Even today an animation by me will be shown at a surgery conference featuring a MH base model i have modified to show a certain technique.
I can't show it here because it's nsfw/nsfk though which is a pitty.

I will be sure to show off any nice things i do with MH in the maybe not so distant future.

Thank you so much for your help and support ;)
