Solved!I installed Pixelbox on the itch.io application,but I realized that I had installed it on the wrong directory. I deleted the directory without uninstalling Pixelbox,and when I tried to reinstall Pixelbox it said that the installer had failed(something under the lines of "while saving angels: NSIS failed to install.) I tried running the application on administer mode,same result.I uninstalled all itch.io files and tried running it the setup independently,it gets stuck at around 43%.I tried removing all instances of Pixelbox files,same result.It isn't installing slowly,it isn't installing.

Can you try to download Pixelbox installer from Itch.io web page (instead of using itch.io application)?

I think "independently" should of answered your question,but I tried to reinstall from a newly downloaded installer,same result as before.

Same issue with me, stuck at the installation. Tried everything, nothing seems to work.

Same issue here. Stuck at installation. Thought it could be some servers I'm runnig or either my node projects interfering, but nope.

So, an update here, if you get stuck during install, you might have to search the windows registry to make it work. I kinda had did it here, searched for every reference to pixelbox, deleted them and it worked.

I advise some care, though, as it might mess up stuff in your OS.

It worked! Thanks.

Is there any hidden references or names that searching wouldn't show,because I deleted all pixelbox files and it still won't install.

@LiveLiver, it's not the files, what I've deleted was the Windows Registry entries, though you shouldn't do that if you've never did this before, as it might break something in your OS if done wrongly.

If you're comfortable tamnpering with the Windows registry, it's just searching/deleting the entries referring to the Pixelbox installation.

then if you havent done it before what should you do

Just meant that as a warning, since I didn't want to be responsible for anyone breaking their Windows installation just because I told "hey, delete all references to this app over there".

If you're careful enough checking the keys you find, you'll be ok.

Though you might want to be extra careful, since I found some entries named "pixelbox" which didn't come from this app.

also the thing is there are no registry files

YUITI4 years ago

If you've used the installer, at least on Windows, you'll have registry entries for Pixelbox.

I found some (from 2.0.0) and deleted them, and the installer just worked.
