Title: BitShares-2.15.286-66c18c6-win64-cli-tools.exe not installing correctly
Post by: kingslanding on October 28, 2015, 01:08:49 am
Anyone having problems installing BitShares-2.15.286-66c18c6-win64-cli-tools.exe for windows?  I'm using Windows 7 and it looks like it completes installing but there's no executable (ie.  bitshares_client.exe is not created and no icons were created).

The bin dir only has these files:

cli_wallet.exe
delayed_node.exe
msvcp120.dll
msvcr120.dll
witness_node.exe

Should there be more?  When I click cli_wallet.exe, a console window pops up and then disappears.

yes you need to run it as administrator.
btw do you want a wallet with gui?
then you should use the light wallet.

Ok, thanks.  Yeah, I usually use the GUI.  I'll also try out the light wallet.
