Locked Version 2.3.0 64 bit will not install #install

I have been using 64 bit version 2.1.2 since Dec 2019.  Today I downloaded 2.3.0 and it will not install.  Clicking on the executable does nothing. Cursor spins a couple of times and then stops.  Rebooted PC twice same result. Tried to run as administrator, same result.   Windows 10 Pro Version 1909.  Would be happy with ver 2.2 in the interim but can't find it to download.

Gary - I just installed it on my Win 10 Home 64 bit machine and it's running fine.  The only hitch was Windows Defender telling me it was unsafe to run, but ignoring that warning it installed properly.  Not sure what the Windows maintenance level is on my machine.

Hi Gary,

no one else is reporting that issue, perhaps the downloaded installer is corrupt. Is there a Windows Event Log entry for the failure?

We do publish a file of SHA256 cryptographic hashes for each released file, you can use them to verify the downloaded installer.

You can get the SHA256 hash of your downloaded installer with this Windows PowerShell command:

Get-FileHash $Env:UserProfile/Downloads/wsjtx-2.3.0-win64.exe

Which should print:

5DE8E2B88389D1D33AA49D1A3AD54B292A0E50D1D358092BFE3AECE89B562A7B

The full list of hashes is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.3.0/

Download of 64 bit 2.3.0 went fine for me, but UDP to JTAlert and Grid Tracker having problems.  Went back to 2.2.2 and all OK again.  Will watch for comments and try again. 73, Herb WB8ASI

I loaded 2.3.0 today... And yes it took a while, it's not an immediate install. It has to do a whole bunch of things in the windows registry., Have some patience... 
Also, I had to go to then settings "Audio" and re-check the Codex drivers...It was a little squirelly for a while,, but eventually everything clicked into place...

Not having any issues here.   Did you check to make sure all the UDP checkboxes are still checked?  What are you using for a broadcast IP address?

After bypassing the initial Defender warning, v2.3.0 installed in about 60 seconds, including setting path options. Anyone experiencing much longer installation times are probably having to wait for their security solution to monitor the installation. As many have written, this is likely to get worse for hobby software as security software becomes increasingly aggressive.

Found the answer to my problem over on the HamApps Group.  Seems 2.3.0 has a couple new additional fields since 2.2.2.   In Settings>Reporting under the UDP Server setup, the new field "Outgoing interfaces:" was blank.  I changed it to the "loopback" choice, and also had to checkmark the "WSJT-X UDP Multicast on Loopback" Setting in JTAlert.  All is well again. 73, Herb WB8ASI

Hi Herb,

it was not supposed to be possible to have the "Outgoing interfaces" field in "Settings->Reporting" as blank, it was meant to have the local loopback network interface as the default as a minimum. That defect is repaired for the next release, apologies for any confusion.

I had similar experience trying to upgrade to latest version. Downloaded .deb file and did install and all it installs is message aggregator no wsjt-x

Hi Andy,

that doesn't sound, in any way, similar. Can you explain exactly what went wrong? For example what does this command run from a terminal print:
which wsjtx

Hi Bill,


I tried downloading the wsjt installer .deb file and having the debi installer install it but always just came back installing only message aggregator alone.

I completely purged older version and reran the same process again and it did the same thing aggregator only. So I purged it all and then just installed the package from the synaptic package manager ; it installed OK and runs but is the older version. Can't seem to get newer versions to install. OS here is ubuntustudio 20.04LTS

which wsjtx =  "/usr/bin/wsjtx"  <--- but this is after reinstalling from synaptic pkg manager.

Hi Andy,

there will be conflicts if you have something from a repository using apt/aptitude/synaptic installed and then try to install our bare Debian package file. To get the latest v2.3.0 release I recommend removing any other version of WSJT-X and then installing our package using dpkg, or alternatively wait for the repo you were using to be updated, which may not take very long.

OK I did that, and yes got the same hash result as you suggested.  Also downloaded again.  Same result --what do I try next? I put Norton Security in "Silent Mode" and that did not help either.   If I remove my 2.1.2 then I have nothing that works, don't want to do that.

Hi Gary,

please try removing v2.1.2, you can always install it again, the installer is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.1.2/ if you need it.

I have instead found a copy of 2.2.1 and it installs fine. No uninstall. So I went from 2.1.2 to 2.2.1 without issue, then I tried 2.3.0 again with a fresh download and it still fails to do anything. So obviously there is something different about the 2.3.0 install.  I am going to sit this one out, satisfied for the time being with 2.2.1 and perhaps try again at later date. Perhaps someone else will find and contribute to a solution. Thanks.

My Norton antivirus blocked it as “too new” and a potential threat. I just selected “install anyway” and it installed and runs fine on Windows 10. This is pretty safe if you know that you have downloaded it directly from the WSJT web site.
