  • Has anyone encountered an error in creating a python folder when installing FME Desktop on a windows 10 home computer? How do I get around this, as the problem is preventing the install?

I haven't yet tried this. I'll give it a try. Thanks

 

Well what a lot of bother that turned out to be. The Virus and Threat Protection tab in Windows Security wasn't available. So after much research, I had to edit the registry to make it reappear. Once that was done, I turned off the settings for Virus and Threat Protection and was able to then install the latest FME Desktop sucessfully.

Also worth running the installer as administrator (if the above doesn't work)
