Additional Softwares

Not much, just recently did a clean win11 install, didn't have time yet to put back my apps.

Could somebody look into this? Still can't install MSI Afterburner.

[jamesWalker55]

The preinstall script tries to extract the contents of the installer EXE, but 7Zip fails to read the contents of the EXE:

Maybe Afterburner has changed their installer EXE format?

[jamesWalker55]

Likely due to the new bundled Norton antivirus in the installer:

I checked the installer with the "Norton 360 for Gamer" option, and it downloads a zipped archive into a temporary directory. For me, it was:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI_Afterburner_Installer\File\77B8B2E9-593F-45F3-A32E-778730B62B6B\MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip

Inside this archive, there's a file called MSIAfterburnerSetup465.exe, which is the correct setup file for installing MSI Afterburner.

The advertisement installer also creates a log file in the same directory where it was executed. The log file contains the following error:

[ERROR] File executable not found! (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI_Afterburner_Installer\File\77B8B2E9-593F-45F3-A32E-778730B62B6B\MSIAfterburnerSetup\MSIAfterburnerSetup465.exe)

It seems that the installer failed to unpack the archive, which caused the setup to fail on my system.
