WorkingHours not starting anymore on MacOS

YannickKrautwurst

WorkingHours version:
OS + version: MacOS 12.0.1, WH version: newest

Hi,

all of a sudden, WH does not start anymore on MacOS. No changes have been made to the app or the files. I receive this error:

Could not find the executable 'WorkingHours.exe'
Full path: /Applications/WorkingHours.app/Contents/MonoBundle/WorkingHours.exe

Has this error happened before and could be solved?

Thanks!

Do you have Norton AntiVirus (or another stupid antivirus program) installed?

Hi! Yes, that's accurate. Seems like I cannot restore the EXE file. Is there a way to save the content data (work hours) and to restore it after a new installation?
Thanks!

Oh, Norton is so annoying...
I had a phone call with them a few weeks ago and they ensured me that the problem was resolved, but apparently it's not.
I personally would really recommend not using that antivirus (not just because it's crippling my apps).

I don't have Norton installed (and will never in the future) so I can't see if you can actually recover it - I would assume you should be able to "unquarantine" it.
If that's not possible, the "data.db" file is the database file and located under user/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Containers/WorkingHours/Data. Make a backup, then reinstall the app, then place the file back to that location

Solved! Thank you, great app!
