Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? Are you running any other developer applications simultaneously?
Thanks @Nick-B and @rilel – just re-installed 6.6.1 without needing to turn off anti-virus, thanks for the tip re 6.7.0 requiring this to avoid a false positive.
Will all the future versions require turning off anti-virus because I can imagine in some workplaces this is not possible, and also some people might not want to do that regardless.
Hi @Youdaman! Our Local Dev team is looking into this right now after reports from multiple Windows users coming across similar issues with 6.7.0. We will keep you posted as we know more and hopefully find a resolution that makes this smoother moving forward
Today I tried to update Local to v6.7.0 on my W10 pc and I get this error “Failed to decompress files. Please try running the installer again. Error opening ZIP file”
I tried to update firstly on the app then I tried installing via latest update available on the website by downloading.
I also tried as Admin. Nothing’s work.
Let me know if you guys already had this issue and fixed it.
While upgrading from 6.1.1 to 6.7.0 Windows Defender alerted a Trojan:Script/Sabsik.FL.B!ml
Troubleshooting Questions
Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
Happens while upgrading or reinstalling 6.7.0
Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?
Since not being able to install, no

Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so:

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
I ran in exactly the same problem just a couple of minutes ago. I tried to update Local and got the Torjan warning. Form me it is a other Trojan though: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml
Reinstalling from the homepage causes the same problem.
Hi all - I’ve merged several threads in here that are all related to the Trojan error or the “Failed to decompress files” error message. Both are due to Windows Defender flagging the latest Local release in a false positive.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We’re going to try resigning and republishing the build to see if that resolves the issue as it has worked for other apps that reported this issue. We’ll report back as soon as we’ve got a republished build.
