Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, are you trying to install on ARM base system? Fences is not compatible on ARM base system. Only x86 system (Intel or AMD).

Thanks

Just a normal PC using Windows 11 Home version.

Is this a corporate PC where you are not an administrative user?

No this is my home pc . A brand new Cyberpower pc gaming computer. This is no obvious reason why this should be happening...

and like I said before I've installed many other pieces of software on this computer and never had any issues at all...

Can we have list of hardware please specifically on your CPU.

Thank you,

ok TY

Are you running as an Administrator? 

yes

sorry for the late response was out of town

There are two things I would like to you review:

1 Windows Update

• Go to the Windows Update window, click on the link under the section that tells you if you are up to date or not, do not use the button on the right

2 Turn Off Controlled Folder Access

• https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/allow-an-app-to-access-controlled-folders-b5b6627a-b008-2ca2-7931-7e51e912b034

After these, see if can successfully install Fences

Tried this and still not working..

Try creating a new Admin account and installing under it:

If it works, it will also be installed under your normal account.

This could be worth trying

THIS FINALLY WORKED YES YES YES LOL.... Ha I spent so much damn time trying to get this to work too... So a lil feedback ...

I followed the instructions here:

https://medium.com/@breich_84283/fix-this-operation-has-been-cancelled-due-to-restrictions-in-effect-on-this-computer-error-ec54825b30f

And then tried this...

Fixing the Registry

Programs can be kept from running by adding them to a key called DisallowRun in the Windows Registry. To remove these restrictions, follow the following steps.

1. Open regedit by clicking your start button and typing regedit and pressing enter. On Windows XP, Click Start, then run, then type regedit.
2. Find \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ and delete the key called DisallowRun.

But at first I couldn't find "DisallowRun" So I went to the "Edit" tab at the top of the Registry Editor window and ran a search for "DisallowRun" as soon as it popped up I deleted it. Didn't even have to restart the computer just tried to run the installer file for Fences again and it worked!!!!!

So there is the answer....

Thank You for all your help!!!

That's great!

I am going to add this to my notes incase we see this issue again.
