Trying to update to 1.0, didn't realize it had switched as I only use it occasionally and I'm not that tech sauvy. I am able to download zrok and move it into my bin folder, but I am unable to get the executable search path code (from the guide) to run properly. When I paste it into Powershell, it pastes as multiple different lines, yet when I can paste as one block of code, nothing happens. Version still shows as 0.4. Help for the dumb would be appreciated
Hi @OtterThose,
Could you link to which guide you might have used? I think it sounds like it might have been one of the ones I made on my personal channel, but if you could just share which powershell you're using and how you get the zrok binary onto your path that would help.
Any extra information would help. Cheers
It's just the guide posted on zrok for Windows, the one that every link for upgrading has brought me too.
Powershell Version says Build 26100 Revision 4061
Currently, I pulled the zrok application from the zip file and put it in my bin folder and made sure it was on path via the Environmental Variables
So when you open a powershell prompt and type: "where zrok", it shows you a path to the zrok binary? I think you might be putting the zrok.exe into the wrong location perhaps?
where zrok doesn't seem to be doing anything, or at least, it doesn't display the path, so I'm not sure what to do. I have the zrok in C:\Users\(Name)\bin and that's where it ought to be running. But whenever I try to enable my environment, it simple says "expected a 'v0.4' version, received: 'your local zrok installation is out of date and needs to be upgraded! please visit 'Install | zrok' for the latest release!'". But I thought I had installed the new one from off the official site guide
ok, so I redownloaded zrok from the main website for Windows. I followed the instructions, ran the code exactly as is provided in the guide from the main website, and zrok was placed into the bin folder. I removed all zrok files from my computer before doing this. However, when running zrok version, it still shows v0.4.46. Is there something that I can enter into Powershell that will force upgrade my version? I keep deleting and redownloading the file folder provided on the main website, running the provided code, but it still wont run v1.0. What am I doing wrong?
Hello OtterThose, i read your problem because i was facing the same problem, and i sign up after solving my problem to share with you. I hope my solution works for you as well.
first, i did exactly as TheLumberjack said here : "So when you open a powershell prompt and type: "where zrok", it shows you a path to the zrok binary? I think you might be putting the zrok.exe into the wrong location perhaps?" , I got the same result then I run the same command on CMD and it works I got this message: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26100.4061]

C:\Users\Oso>where zrok
C:\Users\Oso\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\zrok.exe
C:\Users\Oso\bin\zrok.exe
I deleted the one in WindowsApps : C:\Users\Oso\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\zrok.exe.
Happy coding.
