Yes, the path option is very important, some people with a lot of software installed may also have to disable the path length limit (at the end of the Python installer)

Additionally, you have no way of knowing if the software has been infected or modified in a malicious way

So it’s not a good look to even make this suggestion to all the helpful members here on the forum, who have being helping people for many years with you’ve only just joined to share your “script”

I have created a solution to all of these problems

We don’t have any problems on the forums, thanks for sharing your experience on this, seems pretty interesting.

Yep, I know. I was suspicious too. Blue isn’t a scammer. He has more knowledge about this aspect of downloading than you and I combined. Give me a little more time to post another Scripts Tips post.

I cannot recommend anyone do what this person is suggesting, installing 3rd party software as you have no way of knowing if it’s been “infected or modified in a malicious way”

Ok, I’m sorry to accuse members of this forum of potentially doing that (they haven’t)… (I’ll probably edit that)

also, the script makes it easier to download software, before you had to do PMs and all that, and while granted, it isn’t that hard, this makes it significantly easier for newbies to download software easily (it is also more legal than the traditional method of sharing and downloading copyrighted content)

additionally, if you do not trust my script (understandable), it is entirely open source and you can see it yourself

btw, about my scripts “installation”, the only “3rd party software” being installed is Python, which if you look it up isn’t malicious in any way

And also, my scripts don’t install anything, they only download files directly from Phonak/Sonova whatever’s servers

Thanks for replying, so ok I’ll hold off and see where it goes, the idea is good, but as you probably know, the forum has been a very good source of information for quite some time now and it would be unfortunate to see anything happen in this regard.

Quick note:

  1. Your instructions just make it more sus lol, thanks windows defender and signing scripts (signing scripts costs a lost actually)
  2. The second time you clicked on start.bat on the “extract all” window, you do not click run the second time, once it is extracted you need to run it from the folder it was extracted to, you just ran the still-zipped one again…

You really boldified my disclaimer xD

Or maybe that was the markdown :thinking:

I’m assuming the Phonak Target Downloader is broken right now? Because I keep trying it over and over and it keeps closing the script with no errors. Meanwhile I tested Oticon Genie 1 and it starts the download.

In reply to @lars_lindman

Interesting, it appears to be a problem at Phonak’s end xD with their certificate

Make sure you’ve got the latest version and try again
Thanks

Also, if you’re using a VPN/Proxy, consider disabling it as it may cause this error
