Installing
Windows “This app cannot run on your PC” Messages
If you are having issues running the Hero Windows installer, please try the following possible solutions:
- Ensure you have downloaded the correct installer for your operating-system: Downloading Hero
- Ensure you have saved the Hero Installer file to an appropriate folder on your device that allows applications to be run & installed from within. Many “temporary” folders that browsers use to download & run files from the internet do not have the appropriate permissions to install .exe files. Try saving the installer file to a “Downloads” or “Documents” or similar normal folder on your device before attempting to run the installer again.
- It is recommend to not install Hero into a User directory as these folders generally have restricted permissions to run on most machines. If you encounter difficulties after installing to a user directory (e.g. "C:/users/myName/hero") then try reinstalling Hero to your Program Files directory and see if this resolves your issue).
- Ensure you are either logged onto Windows as the Administrator account or install Hero using administrator rights by right-clicking the Hero installer file and choosing “Run as administrator”
- Ensure you have given Hero permission on a Windows firewall, without which many cloud based functionalities will be prevented from running successfully which may cause issues.
