Butler will not install on Windows 11

A topic by Lowtek created Jan 15, 2023 Views: 253

I’ve tried installing butler directly from the archive and also tried installing the itch app so that it would install butler for me. Neither worked.

The butler installer fails silently. No errors thrown but it doesn’t install butler. I check for butler -v and get the error that the command doesn’t exist.

The itch app installer successfully downloads butler, but fails with message Sanity check failed: timed out waiting for butlerd to listen. The logs in general show that while it successfully downloaded and unzipped the archive, it could not install butler either.

No networking errors, no firewall issues. The install fails because butler is silently failing with no logs that I can find.

Any help on this topic appreciated, because currently I don’t have a way to install butler nor the itch app.
