That's annoying. Which antivirus are you using? I know there have been occasional issues due to the executable being self-extracting, but generally it's ok. As the current build is now quite old I'll see about creating a new one either later today or tomorrow and see if that solves it.

Hello Kemp-

Appreciate your response and looking into.

I'm using Webroot.

I have no idea when it comes to anti-virus programs, just use whatever is on the computer.

My wife got it for her laptop from BestBuy - a year or so ago - and since we had five available, I put it on my computer - now it almost sounds more annoying than helpful.

Since the last post, I tried downloading several times - tried shutting off Webroot and downloading several times - tried downloading several times to my Desolate folder, as moving from my Downloads folder to my Desolate folder my computer said something about me not having Admin privileges.

Will keep looking into it.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Hello Kemp-

Yeah, no idea what's going on.

For some reason, your new versions - 1.4 & 2.3 - now are being flagged as with a virus and my antivirus program - Webroot - keeps deleting them after I download them.

Hopefully I can figure something out later as I had fun playing those text games.

Cheers

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I've been busier than I thought. I'll look at getting a new build for you to try by the end of the week. Hopefully things will be different in some magical way that stops annoying your antivirus 😅

Hello Kemp-

I appreciate your quick responses and understand if you are busy.

I also appreciate the new build.

Look forward to seeing the new result.

Talk with you soon.

Cheers

I've uploaded a new build that I've called 2.3.5. It's just 2.3 but built using the latest versions of my tools. Hopefully that will work better for you.

Hello Kemp-

I downloaded and tried to run it and came up with this error.

'The program can't start because api-me-win-core-path-I1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.'

At least this version got farther than the other ones - the other ones just get deleted by my virus software.

Will look into this later.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers

Yeah, I'm getting the same issue. I'm running Mac OS 12.7.6 (Monterey), which is actually a pretty old OS by this point (but new to me since against all better judgement I bought myself a 2015 Macbook Air recently), but the first issue that came up was that my OS wouldn't let me open the file because it wasn't from their app store. I immediately went to Security and Privacy under System Preferences to sort this out. Once I fiddled with the permissions to just let me open the darn thing, the next issue was that the file cannot be open because it is "corrupted."

I wonder what's going on. I should try downloading it on my Windows 10 and see (but I really want it on my Mac most of all).

Will keep y'all updated.

EDIT (2025.03.04): I figured out a way to run it and I will make a separate post about it in a new comment.
