Unable to Install the PC App

There are a various errors that prevent the PC App from properly installing. Often these issues fall into these categories:

1. Issues validating the License Key
2. Issues with permissions
3. Issues with a missing program

License Key Error

If the License Key used during installation produces an error, then have the manager who shared it check the following:

• On the Accounts tab, make sure to use the copy button to copy the full License Key
• Then confirm that there is an available install left on the license by checking if the Installs count is less than the Seats count
• Then confirm that the firewall has *.tomato.ai on the allow list and that ports 50051 and 8001 are unblocked. Work-from-home agents might need to apply this to their ISP firewall. This is needed to check the License Key
• Then confirm on the Licenses tab that the license does not have an Expiration Date in the past. Only Admins can view this tab and check this.
• Then check if Windows Defender is blocking the PC App
  During the installation process, after the key is entered, Windows Defender pops up a message that says a threat is detected, then Windows Defender is erroneously classifying the PCApp, and you need to add it to Windows Defender’s Exclusion List by following the steps below:
  
  Open Windows Security
  • Press Win + I to open Settings
  • Go to Privacy & Security → Windows Security
  • Click on Virus & Threat Protection

  Go to Exclusions

  • Scroll down to Virus & Threat Protection settings
  • Click Manage Settings
  • Scroll down and click Add or remove exclusions under Exclusions

  Add PC App

  • Click Add an exclusion → Select File or Folder
  • Navigate to the installer’s .exe file or installation folder
  • Select it and confirm
• Then check for corrupted Windows Management Interface Registry
  Another reason could be due to the corruption of the Windows Management Interface (WMI) registry.
  
  Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System and if the information displayed shows no processor or memory, then the WMI registry needs to be reset.
  
  
  • To reset the WMI database, run Command prompt (ie. cmd.exe) as an Administrator, and then run “winmgmt /resetrepository” in the command prompt
  • Then reboot the PC after that operation

Missing Admin Permissions

If while trying to install an Unable to execute error shows.

Then right-click on the installation file, and then select Run as Administrator. If that option does not show then first click on Show More Options and then on Run as Administrator. Next, double-click on the installation file to install.

Missing Program Error

If an installation error mentions a missing DLL, executable, or program, then that file must be installed before the Tomato.ai PC App can be installed.

For example, the error below will show if VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is missing on the PC. To fix this install it first, then follow the PC App Install instructions
