I have attempted to follow the instructions but when pasting the command into powershell I get an error.
I’m attempting to run
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; curl https://github.com/storj/storj/releases/latest/download/identity_windows_amd64.zip -o identity_windows_amd64.zip; Expand-Archive ./identity_windows_amd64.zip . -Force
It continues to fail and doesn’t install on Windows, any help please?

Hi @Lloyd
The default location requires administrator rights, so it should work fine if you run powershell as administrator:
Otherwise change the path to one within your user profile, then run the command.

The default location in PowerShell with user’s rights is their profile.
The problem more like in:
they trying to run the command in cmd.exe
they uses a very outdated PowerShell (Windows 7 for example)

I’m scratching my head like an ape, it creates a zip folder in storj2 but there’s nothing in the identity_windows_amd64 zip folder… do I have the wrong powershell? It’s powershell 7 x64
Using windows 11 and windows 10 without issues. Try just running it in a default location.

I tried that, I attempted it in system32 but that failed too, I attempted a few locations but they all show the same error message
Are you running it natively or are you going directly to the folder where powershell is located? Cause you should beable to goto start and search powershell and open it there.

Yea that’s where I open it, I have run in both admin and normal
Also it seems you manually installed powershell cause I dont even have a folder for it, Its probably the reason it doesnt support the zip files.

I downloaded powershell7.2.2 from the Microsoft Docs, I will try and use the x86 version
Not sure why you would need to manually install it windows 10 comes with powershell. Its really not important though you can manually unzip it and run it manually if you needed.
