Hello! I tried downloading WeMod. But sadly, every time I try to install it goes to 100% and then I get the following error: Installation has Failed. Check the setup log for more information and contact the author. But when I click the setup log nothing shows up. I have read through many WeMod help sites, but nothing works. I tried disabling my antivirus completely but still nothing. There are no logs that are being created in any folder on my pc. Not a single sign of WeMod after installation. I am using Windows 11 and I have .NET 4.8 installed. Can anyone help?

Hey there!
Hello!
So your setup log is blank?
That’s concerning, What kind of antivirus do you use?
ESET
but even when I completely turn it off
like actually completely
it still doesnt let me
Check your quarantine
I’ll paste some instructions try following them
The troubleshooting below is for those getting these error messages or similar:
There was an error installing the application.
Failed to extract installer.
Please follow these steps:
Uninstall WeMod via the Add Or Remove Programs feature found in settings/control panel.
Navigate to these two places and, if these folders still exist on your PC, delete them:
C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\WeMod
C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\WeMod
Turn off your antivirus programs. Even if it’s just the default Windows Defender.
Download WeMod’s offline installer from this direct link: https://api.wemod.com/client/download Install the software.
Before you launch WeMod, add it as an exception in your antivirus software.
Update.exe, found in the folder located at
C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod
WeMod.exe, found in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod
WeModAuxiliaryService.exe, found in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\WeMod\app-VERSION_NUMBER\resources\app.asar.unpacked\static\unpacked\auxiliary
If the issue continues after correctly doing the above steps:
Open your antivirus program, even if it’s just the default Windows Defender.
Go to the quarantine menu (alternatively known as the Virus Chest in some programs).
Look for any WeMod files in there that were quarantined despite it being added as an exception. Whitelist and de-quarantine them from here.
I tried all these steps before..
there isnt a wemod folder in local and in roaming
like it just isnt there
I dont have wemod in quarantine
i have the 4.8 .NET installed
i tried turning off the antivirus
but it still says installation has failed
😢
Which windows do you use
I would look at running some scans on your pc for any issues
Windows 11
I installed it not through Windows Update. But from using a software from Microsoft in here: https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/software-download/windows11
Windows 11 Pro

Idk if You need these
Delete anything wemod related on your pc by searching through file explorer, restart your pc and try launching it from this file after everything is done.
Either there is an issue on your pc or the AV is blocking it.
Try repairing your windows
How?
There are videos online or a simple google search
Hi, not sure if this will work, but how about finding WeMod from the AppData directory and Squirrel from the temp folder. Afterward, restart your computer and attempt a clean installation.
Follow the steps below and see if they make a difference.
- Try to initiate the Run dialog on your PC by using the keyboard shortcut WIN + R.
- You should see a window will appear.
- In this window, enter
appdataand click theOKbutton. - Then verify the presence of a folder labeled
"Squirreltemp"within the "appdata > local" directory. - If you do locate a folder named "Squirreltemp," kindly proceed to delete it.
- Make sure that you only remove the "Squirreltemp" folder and avoid deleting any other files or directories.
Make sure to restart your PC
Now, proceed to reinstall WeMod.
Still gives the same error
