Obsidian.1.4.13 does not seem to install properly

Obsidian.1.4.13 does not seem to install properly.
When I click Install Obsidian.1.4.13 to install the package, a prompt box that says “Installing…” pops up. But when the progress is completed, my computer desktop and start menu will not appear any shortcuts to open programs.
I can’t find any program entry, and I can only find the installation package for Obsidian.1.4.13 to install it again, and the above situation will appear again.

You need to download the installer as well:

Download - Obsidian

Thanks, the installation package related to my question is exactly the one you gave the link to.

Installed on Linux within Obsidian (app ver. release notifed I need new Electron) then from Downloads just now. No hiccups.
Not done it on Windows yet and I have no Mac.

I tried the Obsidian.1.4.13, 1.4.12, 1.4.5 installers and suddenly found that these packages all encountered this problem… Oh my God, what’s wrong.

Is it Win 10 or 11? Anti-virus issue? Getting a shortcut on the desktop is the least of our worries.

The problem has been solved. I used GeekUninstaller and found that I could find the uninstall portal in GeekUninstaller, so I used GeekUninstaller for a complete uninstaller, I deleted all the old folders that were usually impossible to find, and after reinstalling it, the shortcuts to obsidian on my computer desktop and start menu appeared again.
