Hello Community.
Downloaded the BraveBrowserSetup (win7 64bits FV/PV:1.3.99.0)
Run the app
Download ended successfully
Installation started… then
Already delete all files installed and tried again (more than 3 times)… and always same error.
Also tried the beta… same error.
???
@msb,
Thanks for reaching out.
Do you have any instances of Chrome running during installation?
No. I don’t use Chrome.
@msb,
Open task manager and ensure there are no other Brave processes running in the background or any other chromium-based browsers running in the background – may be best to do a restart and then try.
I’ve tried the install with nothing else running (browser/explorer/programs/etc) just the Brave installer.
I’ve looked in the folders of the unfinished installation for log/error files but there is nothing.
I’ve never installed Chrome neither Brave so there can’t be those processes running in the “dark”.
@msb,
Are you using a VPN connection or any AV software?
No VPN. Yes Firewall and AV.
I had to turn off EVERYTHING for the installation to occur!
I don’t believe this is a very good way to perform an installation that requires active internet connection.
At least try to provide an off-line setup installer.
It’s done…
@msb,
Offline installers can be found on our github repo:
Would you mind telling me what AV you’re using?
Using 360 Total Security
Went there (github) but was probably looking with the eyes closed!!!
Good to know there is such a thing as an ‘offline installer’.
Windows7
What is that… sarcasm, or actual “good to know”?!
Here you go!
You’ll want to install one of the “Standalone” setup files as shown below:
Thanks Mattches!
But as I said above, after turning everything off - except the OS - the online setup worked!
@msb
I’m an old lady, granny and it is good to know that there is such a thing as an ‘offline installer’.
It is wonderful to discover all these things that advanced users take for granted. 
Because I remember from a while ago, years maybe, that I was worried when installations wanted me to be online with my AV disabled. Then, I wouldn’t know what to do and I would panic.
Now I know that there is an answer. I will still have to take the time to try it sometime though.
I hope my answer here sorts your question.
