Good morning,

The package does not install correctly on a Windows 11 client.

1 - The shortcut does not point to the correct executable

2 - The installation by decompressing the zip file does not take place in the correct location, which prevents the program from updating later.

Code: Select all

Caution: “Program Files” not recommended!

If you are installing ImageJ2 on Windows, we strongly recommend that you store your ImageJ2.app directory somewhere in your user space (e.g., C:\Users\[your name]\ImageJ2.app) rather than in C:\Program Files or other system-wide directory. If you move ImageJ2.app to such a directory, modern versions of Windows will deny ImageJ2 write permission to its own directory structure, preventing it from being able to update. See also imagej/imagej#72.
Server version: WAPT Enterprise 2.6.0.17392 on Linux Debian (Debian 6.1.140-1 (2025-05-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Agent version: 2.6.0.17392
Client OS: Windows 11 (updated)

THANKS.

Commander.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We will correct the shortcut target, but an application in a professional organization should not be installed in the user directory. We often prohibit the execution of binaries in the user directory. However, this will not be a problem because WAPT will update the application; there will be no automatic update.
Best regards,
Bertrand

Hello,

Within the WAPT framework, auto-update is unnecessary because the packages are updated on our store, and simply importing a newer package from the console is enough to update the software.
However, we will contact the software publisher because user-level installations are not recommended; the best practice is to install for all users, as is the case with the current package.

Sincerely,

Ingrid

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the corrections into account.

I agree with you regarding the security aspect of the deployment; unfortunately, this is a common practice among Java application developers.

Best regards,
