Hi Ferdy,

bad news, i tried to run the latest python_easy_chess_gui.exe version (1.14) posted 5 days ago but i get a message "Failed to execute script python_easy_chess_gui" .

Normally all required modules must be embedded in the EXE, right?

My computer is a core i5 10th gen x64 with OS win 10 Home.

I don't know what happened, :shock:

Best regards
Ferdy

Thanks for the info. The issue was that it needs some folders to work. Download it again, I have updated the pack. It should work now.

Hi, Windows 10 won't let me download your app from GitHub, it gives a malware warning and cancels the download immediately.

I often get warnings from Defender when downloading from GitHub but usually I get to choose 'keep anyway' but for your app, it just shows download error as soon as the download is completed.

I'm pretty sure your app is clean but still I'm a little hesitant to turn off Defender for the download.

Any idea why Defender is being so aggressive?

How do people on here download this app? Do you turn off Defender?

Thanks!

I tested it on my windows 11 pc.

Got 2/70 hits (Arctic Wolf and SecureAge) from virus total but not microsoft. Compiled it using pyinstaller with important flags --onedir and --noupx among others.

Made a quick test under Linux. It was very easy to install dependencies and to start the program. It looks very nice. I will test it more seriously in coming days.

Defender didn't block or give any warning this time.

Haven't had any issues running it on Windows 10 :D

Thank you so much!
