When I try to download Cheat Engine 7.5, it gives me this error message: "You don`t have permission to modify files in this network connection." How do I fix this and download Cheat Engine?
W10 After I had debilitated window of everything and downloaded another time cheatEngine, I could finally install it. From what I can judge, if you download the file with defence on, window will flag it and it will be unusable even after you put down the defence.
For those who are going the self compile route and wondering why the end result is an overall directory that's over 800MB in size, a couple things to note. 1: You can't just copy the executable to another folder alone and run it. You will get a lua error and it will fail to load. 2: You don't however need to have all of the files in your program files directory (or where ever you decided to put/install it). You only need the files contained in the bin folder, minus the 3 big .dbg (debug) files created by the compile process. All told, the entire installation directory that's actually needed for version 7.5 to work, should only be about 62MB in size. So if you're looking at the size of the CheatEngine folder after compilation and thinking "wow that's big" (don't...just don't), it can actually be pared down considerably.
Thanks for this information. I successfully compiled the software last week and kept the bin folder only. I was wondering why the folder was so big (471 MB) and now I know it's the debug files. I've deleted the debug files and now the bin folder is only 62 MB.
@@melih5935 he literally explains in the first couple seconds of the video that it acts like a virus. The program is literally designed to change your RAM so yes scanning it will result in it being flagged.
thanks i didn't know exactly where to find the actual download for cheat engine since someone a link to it on their video but the link only takes you to a page that tells you all about cheat engine and how it works as well as the benefits but i just typed in the web page you have up that has the download button and now i got it thank you for making a video on it
Even after disabling windows, firewall I still get this prompt when trying to install. “Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.” I ran as administrator too.
How about when you get error that says “Failure starting dbk because the vulnerable driver blocklist is enabled and dbk has been added to it. Want to know how to disable this?”

Thank you very much for the help I wanted to use a cheat table for Resident Evil Revelations 2 cause it has a script that allows the AI Partner to use gun's but I didn't want a Virus so glad I found this video I used the Lazarus option and it worked amazingly 1 like and sub earned : )
I'm not sure if it still works, but a workaround that I found a while back was to DL and install it inside Windows Sandbox (which is super effortless to set up on W11), and then copy out the CE folder alone to your real system as it's completely portable. If for whatever reason the installer tricked you or you pressed the wrong buttons, anything it did will be wiped with the sandbox.
Thanks for this video, I'm trying to make a video game and want to provide livesplit autosplitting right out of the box, so that speedrunners have an easier time (I dont mind if people cheat on my single player game, will probably throw in some easter eggs if they do)
bro do not disable your anivirus and window defender it may make your window slow then it may destroy your virus and pc properly and if you want to enable after it then you can not enable the window defender again
I keep getting an error and I've repeated the process 3 times to make sure I'm doing everything correct. anyone else have this issue? something about the i338 or whatever not being compatible
If you install CE and have unwanted software afterwards, you probably turned off your brain during the installation and just clicked Yes/Next on everything you see.
Hi whenever I try to open it windows says the operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software. Any fixes?

i turned off the anti-virus yet it still won’t let me open it figured it out you have to go to windows defender virus and threat protection, then click on the file windows thinks is dangerous then allow it
thank you bro really appreicate it edit- I have turned my microsoft firewall off and done what you have told me to do in the video but my pc is still flagging it so idk what to do can you help me pls?
He mistakenly said to turn off firewall, but that doesn't do anything, what you "should" turn off is Windows Defender. Just type in Windows Search "Virus & Threat Protection", go to "Manage Settings" and turn off "Real-time protection". Remember to turn it back on after using the program. BUT, what I'd recommend doing is allowing the App when the Windows notification comes
Thanks for the upload. I am trying to install Cheat Engine 7.5 however its not letting me agree to the terms of service. I click next and nothing happens. Any idea what might be the cause?
Hello so i tried the first method and i turned off the firewall defender (i turned it back ofc) and then it took a long time to open and it said the file might contain malware and virus and hackers blah blah blah and the windows defender always sending me notifications about a potiential app or smth it said. What do i do?
I have an old cheatengine that never caused me problems years ago (cheat engine 5.6) but now that i try to open it my antivirus says its infected with "FileRepMalware" whic is a trojan so I dont know if its right or if its normal bc of how it works but trojan sounds weird for me
@@mless3659 well i have some experience dealing with viruses so yes .. what i did was disconnected my internet cable ran pc in safe mode found the quarintine folder deleted everything and even the cheat engine zip file from downloads then ran a defender offline scan then booted normally this process fixes most viruses

Skip all has sometimes installed Malware, so it's best to manually decline them all.
