Good evening,

Here a little issue while installing the application which stopped the installation

This looks like it's because our Windows build is 64-bit only, and your machine is 32-bit. I can't offer any immediate fixes unfortunately, but I'll keep this ticket open.

This looks like a known issue with the installer library. See Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#698 (comment)

Are you running antivirus? Does turning it off temporarily allow you to install?

OK, on further research, that linked issue appears unrelated, it does still look like this is a 32 bit issue.

Notes for us:
With our current setup we can't currently support dual architecture releases due to an issue with our update server: GitbookIO/nuts#32

One option is to only build 32-bit binaries on Windows, or else switch to a different update server.

Other relevant issues:

This should hopefully be resolved by #45

The next release should resolve this.

I have changed of computer. As a consequence, I won't be able to help you to test. The current PC didn't have this problem. Sorry!
