Location of SweetHome executable file

Post by ronks »

I just installed SH3D from SourceForge on a Windows 11 system.
But the .exe file does not appear anywhere under Program Files or Program Files (x6).
And every time I start it, SH begins with a window inviting me to "Try SH3D Pro for Free".
Unclear what is going on here; I can open it on my older Windows 10 PC with no trouble from C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D.
Would like to do the same on the new system. And avoid the advertisement for SH3D Pro.

Have figured it out, but not sure I could document the solution.
Basically the Sourceforge download included arguments pointing to Microsoft. I copied the installation file to another location without them, and that did the trick.

Hi Ronks,
This issue might be happening because you downloaded and tried to use the app both from the Windows Store and from SourceForge.
We suggest that you delete both versions of the app from your computer and download the one you're interested in again.
We hope this solves the problem!

Thanks! What I did was to copy the setup file without the command arguments to another directory and install from there.
That did the trick, but it seems a little deceptive if SourceForge is involved in the inclusion of those args.
