[digiKam-users] Installation on Win 10 - problem solved

[Stephen Leibowitz]

If other users have the same problem on Windows, they might try unblocking
the downloaded installer before running it. See “ZIP files should be
“unblocked” before their contents are extracted” at
https://web.archive.org/web/20180809174548/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/delay/p/unblockingdownloadedfile/
. That article is about ZIP files, but the concept is the same for installer
files.

I wrote a post on a Krita forum that also discusses the issue. See
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=161647&p=420031#p420031 . It
references the Krita FAQ which says in part, “...or tell Microsoft Security
Essentials to make an exception for Krita.”

While downloaded .tar.xz files are also marked as blocked, it is not
necessary to unblock them. Windows itself cannot extract from .tar.xz .
Instead, you would use a third-party program, such as 7-Zip or PeaZip. The
third-party programs will ignore the block and not propagate the block tag
to the extracted files.
