Shawn243 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Can anyone explain why the installer takes forever to validate the install before it will actually install the software? Synergy 2.0.5 took at least 15 minutes to validate. 2.0.6 has already taken nearly 30, and it still hasn't validated. This happens with the Windows 64-bit installer on Windows 10. No such problem when installing on Mac OS X 10.11.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Team Nick Bolton Posted February 28, 2018 Synergy Team Share Posted February 28, 2018 This bug is driving me crazy! I'm pushing for the fix for this to be prioritized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Van Pelt Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I've been seeing a long lag, then (I forget the exact wording) something about can't complete due to some process still running. I click "try again", and it eventually works on the second try. I haven't timed how long it takes. I saws this on 2.0.6 and 2.0.5. I'm not sure about earlier versions.

sholan Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Cheers o/ As seen in another post, installation can become stuck, manually stopping the synergy service worked for me. Please note I first canceled the allready started installation process, stopped the service, restarted the installer and ... tada ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn243 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 If the service has to be stopped, why doesn't the installer either stop the service or tell you that upfront? But you're right. As soon as I stopped the service and then ran the installer, it completed in about 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagobuss Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I made sure the service was stopped but it still took almost 15 minutes to get past "Validating install" on upgrading from 2.0.4 to 2.0.7 on Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alp Güneysel Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Synergy 2.0.8-Stable, upgraded from Synergy 1, problem still persists on Windows 10; validating install is basically stuck (didn't wait 15 minutes ) Manually stopping the service worked for me, installs in a second. One of my favourite software, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Williams Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 You should see a difference going from 2.0.8 to future versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben R. Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm seeing this issue with 2.0.10. 64-bit, upgrading from Synergy 1.8.8. Cancel doesn't close the installer, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
