Version

Latest DCC EX installer

Issue description

When I try to load product I get an error message saying theEX-commandstation-installer.exe is deleted and do I want to override.
The log then shows the following.
2025-09-01 17:39:14.138 - ex_installer.git_client - ERROR - Local file changes in pygit2.Repository('C:/Users/User/ex-installer/CommandStation-EX/.git/')

AttributeError: '_pygit2.Commit' object has no attribute 'oid'

The program then crashes and I exit.

It was working until I upgraded to win 11.

Do you have an antivirus program installed? I suspect it's falsely detecting that .exe file as a trojan and quarantining it. You may need to get your antivirus software to ignore it. At some point that file will be deprecated and removed as it's no longer required, but at the moment it will cause the issues you're seeing if antivirus falsely detects it as a trojan.

Deleting the folder and rerunning the installer worked. Thank you very much. I haven't played with the program since last using it successfully. The only changes I have made was to upgrade to windows 11. Very strange.
