Description Øystein Steffensen-Alværvik 2019-04-29 17:54:58 UTC

SUMMARY
The Windows Installer shows this warning dialog even though Falkon is *not* running: "Falkon is already running! Do you want the installer to try to terminate it?". Never installed Falkon on this machine before. Reproducibly always.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download Falkon Windows x64 installer: https://download.kde.org/stable/falkon/3.1/Falkon.Installer.3.1.0.x64.exe
2. Run it like any installer.
3. Press Next a few times and then Install

OBSERVED RESULT
Warning dialog.



SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 x64 Version 1809

This happened to me on both of the Windows 10 installs on which I installed Falkon.

Additionally:
1. The Yes/No question offers 2 possible answers: "OK" or "Cancel".
2. Choosing Cancel aborts the installation ("Setup was not completed successfully."). To workaround, one must choose "OK".

This makes for a very bad first impression. Please upgrade this ticket's Importance to major.
