Description
I was trying to install the Kybase client under Win10 on a system with multiple users. What I did was the following:
- Installing it in with a non-admin account. Result: It worked only for this account.
- Uninstalling it.
- Installing it in an admin account. Result: Not available in non-admin account.
- Uninstalling it.
- Installing it it again in non-admin account: Result: Keybase client has a red message under "folder": "Your keybase folders are currently not showing up in your Explorer". When I click on "Display in Explorer", I get a dialog with the message "Press 'Repair' to see files in Explorer". When I click 'Repair', after some time an open file box appears pointing to my download directory with "Keybase_1.0.33-20171003150842+ea019b3.386.exe" as the file name. Obviously no such file exists in this location. Choosing the downloaded setup.exe instead worked.
