Bonjour Not installing and crashing the app

[RafaelSerafini]

What happened?

The error occurred when I started the installation process and hit the install bonjour button on my Windows 10 machine.

1st: Open the app
2nd: Try to install Bonjour
3rd: Crash

Solution:

1. (Tested and it has worked flawlessly) Try to install Bonjour Print Service by the official Apple support site. After a restart, you are ready to open Barrier again, and now you can turn auto-config on normally.
2. (Not tested) Open the app, open Task Manager, click on the app, properties, and turn compatibility mode on for Windows 7.

Solution part two:
SSL is not working well.
You can simply disable it by clicking on the top left “Barrier”/“change settings” and unmarking the SSL on the menu.

Notes:
Like other people here, I already have iTunes on my Windows machine (with something called Bonjour, but it isn’t the same thing apparently).
I think it was made for Windows 7 and tries to summon the Windows 7 Bonjour installation and crashes because it isn’t there.
And if it isn’t the compatibility, it can be a list of other things, like a failed installation process or permission error.

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

Both are compatible with Barrier client/server so you can try on one of your computers.

If this is still an issue in those projects, we would appreciate a cross-post of this issue.
