Having trouble with scheme

Posted by netbyte on Tuesday April 24, 2012 @04:36PM
from the self-post dept.
The scheme executable file is giving a lot of trouble on windows. I've downloaded and attempted to install it 10 times, but every time I click the executable file, it gets deleted. I think this may be a problem with my Webroot, but I have no idea how to disable this.

I am willing to help but your question is very vague.

Downloading http://download.racket-lang.org/installers/5.2.1/racket/rack... from http://download.racket-lang.org/racket-5-2-1-bin-i386-win32-..., anything else you'd need to know?

Try again disabling your antivirus temporary, probably you will also want to disconnect your computer from the internet during the installation if you disable the antivirus.

The problem is, the new Webroot interface sucks and I have no idea what to disable.

So, as I suspected, your antivirus deletes the installer when you try to install Racket.

Have you tried to right click and install as an administrator ?

What Scheme executable are you trying to use?
