Windows MSI setup fails with missing cabinet file "cab5.cab"
I was going to give Jami a try, but I can't install it, this has never happened.
Activity
I can't create an account, after selecting username I wait for a long time, even after a minute it won't respond and crash.
Where can I get error log to send it here? Actions: Video_2022-12-21_020026
Also I can't install new version by repair action in latest installer:

Maybe these issues are related: jami-client-qt#273 (closed)?
Something is definitely happening there, and it needs debug from developer, as you can see from process actions, there's something happening during/after creating profiles, maybe some parsing illegal character or expression issue. Definitely some problem in code area. It could affect thousands of users but we wouldn't know it, since they don't come to Gitlab to report due to insufficient technical knowledge.
Edited by Jacob@kovalensky One question: If you launch the installer as an admin and/or in compatibility mode does it work?
@El4 Sure, yes I tried, currently I'm admin on Windows 10, started with administrator rights, also tried with compatibility mode, it doesn't work.
If you just send files (audio / video) you should actually need no server (maybe only the nameserver is used) but if you want to make calls you probably need to enable turn:

Hi @kovalensky
Are you able to retry logs following this (with -f/-d): https://docs.jami.net/user/bug-report-guide.html#for-windows ?
. On a web conference, peers send video/audio data to each other Bittorrent like, or do we need a server to distribute it to others?
All details should be in the docs (docs.jami.net there is several pages on calls ; https://docs.jami.net/user/faq.html for generic questions). But in a video-call, at least one of the participant will mix the video and send to others (they will host the conference).
Sure, yes there are some errors:

Feature idea: Would be nice to have delayed p2p live conferences (latency 30-60s) setting, as of in PeerTube[Latency settings support for lives], so that all peers could distribute video stream to each other, this would ease load on host's device by 90% and hold hundreds/thousands of participants. Sometimes teachers/coaches only give lectures and don't need input from many of students during lesson, only after they could send their questions in live chat.

Any intentions adding this one? @El4
Edited by Jacob@El4 Are there any topics I could send my request to? Or perhaps I should start new feature request issue topic?
@kovalensky are you using the in-application update or downloading and running an MSI from jami.net?
missing cabinet file "cab5.cab"sounds like a corrupted MSI file during download. Please uninstallAdd or remove programsthen use this link https://dl.jami.net/windows/archive/jami_x86_64-202211081755.msi.Finally, if that doesn't work, you can log and MSI execution with
msiexec /i <path_to_msi> /L*V <path_to_log>(Note:<path_to_log>must be accessible by the user executing the command).@atraczyk @sblin Actually, as I wrote in this discussion branch, installing the latest 1755 build is not a problem anymore. I already installed/reinstalled it from jami.net and it started successfully (filename: "jami_x86_64-202211081755.msi" , sha1 hash: "278385EBE451B065912910CF45D6DD3DA6C795A6").
As you can see in this demonstration, I can't create an account, I sent you error log(error.txt) in my previous comment.
Here's interactive picture of logs, I think Jami crashes with conversion problem of string to wstring so it can't initialize an account session and it forwards us to : "Calling convModule() with an uninitialized account":
Edited by JacobI think this issue is actually just jami-client-qt#273 (closed) but more complicated?
@sblin Any news?
Hello @kovalensky,
I am currently working on windows and will be able to check it shortly.
@agsantos Any news about release bro?
Not sure if the developers actually already made a patch but you could check out the beta:
@El4 I asked my friend to create an empty account and send me AppData\Local\jami folder, I pasted it to destination then opened Jami, it started with a white screen then after 10-15 seconds it worked!!! I couldn't even link a device or import backup.
P.S. Nevermind, I can't chat or call anybody, I think there is log dependency as it can't create files.

I hope it's fixed, @atraczyk doesn't reproduce
