Windows: admin vs. regular users, filesystem permission crash at startup (EDRLab.ThoriumReader folder user access control?)
thorium is not compatible with windows 21H1 version. and I am using latest version 1.7.00 it always shows java script error although I have downloaded it from microsoft store. I would be glad to see hindi language included in the further update.
Hi @preevi-singh, I'm surprised by the windows 21H1 issue you're raising, we'll check on our side. Can you please detail what happens, and did you install the June Patch Tuesday? (the initial release was buggy I heard).
Re. the Hindi language, translations are community based. Volunteers maintain the translation of a json document in each supported language. We'll first check if there could be technical issues with Hindi. If being in charge of the Hindi translation would be ok for you, we'll then be able to organize that with you.
thorium shows the system cannot find the file specified. exit code 1. I have installed ver 1.7.0.0 on microsoft store it shows it was released on may 2021

Hi Preevi, did you close this issue by mistake? your last comment is cryptic.
Hello, I am building Thorium on a recently-updated Windows machine. I will report back with my findings once I have finished running tests with a conventional app installer, as well as with a Windows Store deployment.
I am unable to reproduce the reported bug with Windows 10 20H2 and Thorium 1.7.0 (I will publish 1.7.1 soon to the Windows Store ... work in progress)
I am now on Windows 10 Pro 21H1, but I am unable to reproduce the reported bug. Thorium 1.7 installed from the Windows Store launches fine. The app settings are stored in C:\Users\daniel\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\ (not in the special Packages folder which is sometimes used by Windows)
I uninstalled Thorium 1.7, re-installed the app via the Windows Store, and I tried running the app with both previous / existing settings located in C:\Users\daniel\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\ and fresh new settings in C:\Users\daniel\AppData\Local\Packages\EDRLab.ThoriumReader_xxxx\LocalCache\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\.
=> No crash, everything seems to work fine.
But it is not working at my end..

Suggestion: rename your folder C:\Users\PREEVISINGH\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader (for example, add a character at the end of the folder name), and launch Thorium again.
Looking a the path given in the error, C:\Users\PREEVI SINGH\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\db\lcp-secret/MANIFEST-000020, I do not understand your suggestion Daniel.
This is a process of elimination: when Thorium starts "from scratch", the Electron framework will generate an app-specific folder in either C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\ or C:\Users\XX\AppData\Local\Packages\EDRLab.ThoriumReader_xxxx\LocalCache\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\.
I too could not understand and normal person won't understand please improve the app so that a normal person can install it easily in any folder where he/she wants to and can use it easily.

To improve the app we need your assistance. Could you please rename temporarily this folder so that we can check what happens?
How to do so?

the detail of the answer depends on your technical expertise. Are you a developer, and advanced windows user or casual windows user?
Casual

If you are a casual Windows user:
- close Thorium
- open a terminal
- type "ren C:\Users\PREEVI SINGH\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader EDRLab.ThoriumReader1"
- check if the command is accepted
- launch Thorium and advise. The bookshelf should be empty but no ebook is lost.

Hello, you can install Thorium from the Windows Store or from a regular installer (Thorium.Setup.1.7.1.exe):
https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/releases/tag/v1.7.1
Windows OS traditionally uses the "C:/Program Files" folder, but for some apps the installation folder is C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\Programs\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\ (if I remember correctly)
type "ren C:\Users\PREEVI SINGH\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader EDRLab.ThoriumReader1"
This is unlikely to work because of the space character in PREEVI SINGH
How to do so?
You can use the file explorer to go to your C:\Users\PREEVISINGH\AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader folder, but note that the AppData subfolder is in fact hidden, so you may have to make sure that file explorer displays hidden files.
similar error message in this project: https://github.com/storj/storjshare-gui/issues/675
another similar error message: https://github.com/Level/levelup/issues/222
Similar warning from another user, this time with a screenshot:
Version 1.7.1 downloaded directly from the repository.
"I click download and am able to start installing. Then when the installation is supposed to be finished, I receive the following message ..."
So, it looks like a LevelDB / LevelDown error, judging by the filepath (the keyword "MANIFEST-xxx" is a clue too).
Some details:
- is it the same message you've seen initially (what you called "notification that a virus was stopped from the download") ?
I use McAfee virus protection, and after I receive the screenshot notification, I receive another notification from McAfee indicating that a virus was stopped from downloading.
- did you use a previous version of Thorium before, and which one?
Yes I did! I used the last version of Thorium that was available in February 2021 (not sure the version number). I had no issues with this until a Windows update occurred and then I was not able to open Thorium at all. That was when I tried to download the latest version, 1.7.1.
- did you update your Windows system to the latest version lately (named 21H1 in the litterature)? it seems that the issue could be tied to an update of Windows (but with the new version we still cannot reproduce).
Yes, an automatic update from Windows happened last week which is when my Thorium stopped working.
- if we recommend that you delete the database of ebooks which is handled by Thorium, will it be an issue for you?
I'm not sure what this means. Currently, I have completely deleted and uninstalled the last version of Thorium that I had, hoping it would help the new installation.
