Hi All,

I am trying to install Winstep Nexus 19.2 Dock onto my Windows 10 PC.

Firstly, when I got to https://www.winstep.net/nexus.asp I get this error message. 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

I got around that my downloading Winstep Nexus 19.2 Dock from a mirror. But it will not run the setup.exe. In the attached image it tells you the error.

I did not change the folder it wants to install into. I did try and change that folder but got the same error message.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this error?

Regards,
Rob

That's likely because the anti-ransomware "feature" in whatever security software you're using is *silently* preventing the Winstep application from creating a folder in a perfectly legit location.

Yep you were right.

Got it installed and running well,thank you.

Is it possible to add a Windows search function to the dock?

Cheers,

Rob

Depends on what you mean by that. Check up on the available Internal Commands.
