Installing GitHub for Windows

Installing GitHub for Windows

I'm trying to install GitHub for Windows. I tried installing it the normal way and got this error:

Application installation did not succeed. Cannot locate application files on the server. Contact the application vendor or your administrator for assistance.

Clicking on Details... gave me this:

I followed the advice on this post and downloaded github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application with the latest version of Chrome. When I tried to run it, I got this error:

With this detail:

From here I'm stuck. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm on a work computer, so there may be some security settings blocking something, but I don't know about all that.

Thanks, Chris

Answer by Georgios for Installing GitHub for Windows

I had the exact same problem and it turned out that a Web Content Filtering system was getting errors for many of the git client files, some of them are included below.

Spoofed files

http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/msvcp100.dll.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/sqlite3.dll.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/7za.exe.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/RestSharp.dll.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/git2.dll.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/ReactiveUI.Xaml.dll.deploy  http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application

Missing Digital Signature

http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/chromium-pack.7z.deploy  

Number of contained files exceeds limit

http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_1_0_48_0/PortableGit.7z.deploy  

I suppose you should contact your network admin and get him to set up exceptions for these files, or even better for the whole http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com. Still, IMHO, this shouldn't be happening. I'll try to get in touch with Github support.

Answer by JohnRDOrazio for Installing GitHub for Windows

I was just having this same problem, I was able to download the installer but after the installer (GitHubSetup.exe) finished doing it's downloading, the program wouldn't launch, it crashed with an error log. I'm using Windows 8.1; I have never had any trouble in Windows 7. So I tried right-clicking and "Run as Administrator", it again did it's downloading thing and then launched just fine.

Answer by Achilles for Installing GitHub for Windows

I had a same problem, and got the isse like 20+ times while I was trying to intsall the github on my Windows 8 Pro.

Solutions found unknowingly is - Login into the Github account, then download the package, and try to install without logout till the installation complition.

It work for me.. Please try and provide if you have any more better way to handle this.

thanks.

Introduction

I have had a similar problem: after 75% of the file was downloaded, it just got stuck. Then 5 minutes later or so, I've received the exact same error message you did.

How I've fixed it

As Geogrgios mentioned above, you need to add an exception to the firewall.

1. Go to "Control Panel" and click on "System and Security" (make sure that "View by:" is set to "Category" and not to "Large icons" or "Small icons").
2. Choose Windows Firewall (the second option in the right menu). Then, "Allow a program or a feature through Windows Firewall" in the left menu will be displayed, please click on it.
3. Click on "Change settings" to add exceptions.
4. Click on "Allow another program ..", which has gotten enabled, and in the new window click on "Browse..".
5. Choose the "GithubSetup.exe" file, press "Open" and then "Add" and "OK".
6. Run "GithubSetup.exe" and hope for the best.

Answer by vijay for Installing GitHub for Windows

I too faced a similar issue. The root cause was two fold. 1. Proxy: I was behind a corporate proxy, which prevented me from connecting to the download center. 2. Firewall: I was using a corporate laptop in which Symantec network access control was enabled (Firewall related settings are present here)

I disabled the Symantec network access control and used my personal internt connection to download and install. Did not face any issues after that.

Answer by Vladislav for Installing GitHub for Windows

Just switching to Internet Explorer from Chrome do the trick for me =) I don't know why, but it's really helps. After 95%(!!) of the file was downloaded, it just got stuck.

P.S. Sorry for my English. Please check me.

Answer by Cigano Morrison Mendez for Installing GitHub for Windows

If you're using Kaspersky, disable Protection and Control first. Kaspersky Antivirus deletes all deploy files silently, giving erros like this (from install.log):

Launching Application.  URLDownloadToCacheFile failed with HRESULT '-2146697211'  Error: An error occurred trying to download 'http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application'.  

Or like this (downloading http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application and launching manually):

* [15/09/2015 11:58:50] System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDownloadException (Unknown subtype)      - Unsuccessfull download at file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/Application Files/GitHub_3_0_5_2/GitHub.exe.manifest.      - Source: System.Deployment      - Stack trace:          in System.Deployment.Application.SystemNetDownloader.DownloadSingleFile(DownloadQueueItem next)          in  System.Deployment.Application.SystemNetDownloader.DownloadAllFiles()          in System.Deployment.Application.FileDownloader.Download(SubscriptionState subState)          in System.Deployment.Application.DownloadManager.DownloadManifestAsRawFile(Uri& sourceUri, String targetPath, IDownloadNotification notification, DownloadOptions options, ServerInformation& serverInformation)          in System.Deployment.Application.DownloadManager.DownloadApplicationManifest(AssemblyManifest deploymentManifest, String targetDir, Uri deploymentUri, IDownloadNotification notification, DownloadOptions options, Uri& appSourceUri, String& appManifestPath)          in System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.DownloadApplication(SubscriptionState subState, ActivationDescription actDesc, Int64 transactionId, TempDirectory& downloadTemp)          in System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.InstallApplication(SubscriptionState& subState, ActivationDescription actDesc)          in System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.PerformDeploymentActivation(Uri activationUri, Boolean isShortcut, String textualSubId, String deploymentProviderUrlFromExtension, BrowserSettings browserSettings, String& errorPageUrl)          in System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.ActivateDeploymentWorker(Object state)      --- Internal exception ---  

Answer by stimpy77 for Installing GitHub for Windows

Setup was stalling at around 85MB for me, after repeated attempts. After trying all these answers with no success, the one found here is the one that finally worked for me. I canceled, killed dfsvc.exe from Task Manager (I'm using Windows 10), deleted C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0, opened up Internet Explorer (not Chrome or Firefox) and navigated to this exact URL:

https://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application  

Answer by JanivZ for Installing GitHub for Windows

I opened Microsoft edge and navigated to:

https://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application

worked first time !

might also work in internet explorer

got the idea from: stimpy77

Answer by Judah Himango for Installing GitHub for Windows

Turns out the problem for me was that my corporate network was blocking the download on the network level. This problem was solved for me by going outside of my corporation's network policies via a personal VPN.

When I tried to download GitHub, the ClickOnce app would install with the following error:

ERROR SUMMARY Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log. * Activation of C:\Users\Judah\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GitHub, Inc\GitHub.appref-ms| resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:

    + Downloading http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_3_1_1_4/libGLESv2.dll.deploy did not succeed.      + Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.      + An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host  

The error message says it was unable to download http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application Files/GitHub_3_1_1_4/libGLESv2.dll.deploy. Trying to directly download that file with Chrome, IE, and Edge all failed.

I began to suspect it was a corporate network policy that was blocking the download.

So, I connected to a personal VPN, downloaded again, and it worked. You could use a VPN, or tethering on your phone, or some other network outside of your corporate network to download as well.

Answer by Ryan Garant for Installing GitHub for Windows

If you use Windows 10:

1. Kill dfsvc.exe
2. Delete this folder: %LocalAppData%\Apps\2.0
3. Type in Internet Explorer: https://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application
