Hi,

When installing the latest version of Fences 6, the following error appears: "On Ctrl Message, Line O. escape sequence too large near 'CUsers'". How can this be resolved? Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know if this is a new install or it is intall over older version?

Thank you,

Hi Kenxxxxxxx,

That error looks like it's related to the installer tripping over characters in your Windows user profile path. In the meantime, a clean reinstall often clears up installer issues like this. This guide walks you through the process: Fences purging and re-installing

If the error persists after that, let us know and we'll dig deeper.
