Can't start 1.3

Postby TheBragi » Mon May 12, 2025 4:19 am

I just downloaded and installed 1.3 into my Windows laptop. When I ran makehuman-community_1.3.0.exe to install it, I seleected "just for me", then it installed into the default folder C:\Users\bragi\AppData\Local\makehuman-community. But there is no new icon on my desktop, and I can't find any kind of .exe or similar file to start the program in AddData folder. Windows Intalled Apps lists 1.3 as installed. But I can't find it in Portable Applications, C:Program Files, or C:Program Files (x86) either.

Now, I already have 1.2 on my system, in my Portable Applications folder, and it has an icon on my desktop and runs just fine. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to start 1.3. What am I doing wrong?

C:\Users\bragi\AppData\Local\makehuman-community is a hidden folder on Windows. You will not be able to see it by default. If you open file explorer, and paste this location into the address bar you should find what you are looking for.

To be able to see hidden files directly in the file manager (Windows 11) do the following: 1) hit the 3 dot menu in file manager and choose options, 2) On the View tab in the pop-up, click "show hidden files, folder, and drivers in about the 8th line down. Hidden folders will now show as semi-transparent in file manager.

All that said, I believe you should find a link to makehuman if you search your start menu in the makehuman folder
