Answered my own question. I renamed the WSJT-X folder and then installed the RC8 version as new. This time the install went as expected and all is well. 73, Russ – K2TXB W2DRZ Controllers, LLC.

By turning off all virus protection I was finally able to download RC8. But when trying to install, it gives me a error “Error opening file for writing: C:\WSJT\wsjts\bin\Qt5Core.dll” I checked and the file is there and not read-only. I tried this twice with two different browsers with identical results (Chrome and Edge). Any ideas??? 73, Russ – K2TXB From: Charles Suckling via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 12:28 AM To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Cc: Charles Suckling <g3w...@gmail.com <mailto:g3w...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] virus found in wsjtx-2.7.0-rc8-win64.exe Adding to Mike's comment, I suggest looking at this article.
