    I wonder,
    do you have a firewall app that can stop ps1 files -
    from running?
    if you manually run `get_latest_setup_link` or `get_latest_setup_version`
    Does it run or fail?

    Powershell asked me about execution policy change. I answered `Y`. After this nothing happens, no message etc. I don't have third-party AV/firewall.

    Users beware! The upload.ee link (I didnt dare try the others) to the latest version of this tool is malicious.
    There is a wizard offering tonnes of crapware which gets installed even when you decline it.
    About 10 programs which took me more than 30 minutes to get rid of.
    Dark Dinosaur can you throw any light on this?

    Edit : I have done some further investgation and the other two links seem to be normal.
    The upload.ee link is not kosher (I should have been more careful!)
    Do not use it - Malwarebytes is having a field day getting rid of numerous reg keys and residuals as I write!

    upload_2023-9-27_10-4-25.png

    Just sits here indefinitely. Any troubleshooting to get past it?

    edit: nevermind! i think it might have been sophos blocking it somehow. added an exclusion and it seems to have worked ok

    Thank you for this great software. For troubleshooting on one system, it might be causing a conflict. Icons are scrambled. There are a program or two that cannot be opened after closing regardless of Taskkill until restart. The Win11 was a brand new install from checksum'd media. Can OfficeRTool be uninstalled? TIA

    P. S. The purple icons are Phone Link and Microsoft Store.
