Bug: Install Command Line Tools [4.1 beta (build 20431)]

[remyroy]

When using version 4.1 beta (build 20431), going into the Beyond Compare menu and selecting the Install Command Line Tools... element automatically fails with the message Failed to install command line tools. without prompting the privilege elevation dialog.

As a workaround, install the stable version 4.0.7, perform the Install Command Line Tools... command from that version and replace the application with the beta version.

Thanks for the bug report. We should be able to get this fixed in the next 4.1 release.

Hello,

What is the bug you are currently hitting? This issue was specific to the beta. If you are seeing the above message, are you running as a restricted user account?

The intended behavior is to see a "Beyond Compare wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." dialog to elevate privileges and copy the files.

Hi no i did enter on privilege prompt, error message pop up was just " ".

To fix this i removed bc4, removed the files in /usr/local/bin bcomp that was zero size.... and tired again and it just worked.
so cant repeat and command line tools work from git for me now so alls good

Thank for quick reply.
