Android Question B4A can not be installed [SOLVED]

GMan said:

i simply copied the B4A Installer (downloaded yesterday on another PC) to the new one: all is fine and the file can be installed without problems.

So the solution is not found yet, but for me i have it working ;-)

have a new notebook and tried to install B4A on it (B4J works)
After downloading and clicking on it, a message appears that i need to download an application from Windows Store to open tge B4A.exe (Installer).

Anyone an idea what is wrong ?

By the way, what is the hardware? Is it a MS Surface Pro? I just saw it has compatibility issue with some apps.

found this on ms site might work for you ( I take they are referring to the installer)

If anyone else has the same problem the work around is:



1. Right Click

2. Show More Options

3. Troubleshoot compatability

4. Try Recommended settings (skip this if option doesn't come up)

5. Test the program



This allows the program to execute.

Have you checked in Vantage that system is up to date (Lenovo love bios updates - I get about 1 a month)

Could you follow the steps to right-click and open the properties option, and then upload a screenshot?

Do you keep older version of B4A?
Can it be installed?

It seems to me the issue is on your version of Windows, not the installer file.
Windows is up to date?

I did this on every download i made.
Now i did it again and look: after changing the settings through the MS Webinterface the B4A.exe starts normally View attachment 157103
