Figma app Installation has failed (Windows)

Artur_Kukharski · August 24, 2021, 9:51pm

Hello, I have a problem with the desktop version Figma. Before I work and after the last update, Figma didn’t open more. When I try to install a new version it gives allert.

Installation has failed
There was an error while installing the application. Check the setup log for more information and contact the author.

On the file I see alert like
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file C:\Users***\AppData\Local\Figma\app-98.14.0\resources\app.asar.unpacked_codesign’

When I go to this route windows said he can’t find this file too. But if I go there step by step I see the file.

i solved this.
go to :
C:\Users\ your user folder \AppData\Local/figma
and find the _codesign file , then create an text file and zip it with sendto menu then select that _codesign file and hold shift and drag it into zip file , then delete zip file and figma folder.
now install figma.

Unfortunately it did not help me as an error pops up the specified folder is empty so you cannot add it to this archive. Maybe I’m doing smth wrong…

Ok. I find how to fix this problem.

Nedd open soft “command prompt” like administrator
cd "C:\users\kukha\AppData\Local\Figma
where kukha - your user name
del /s /q “Figma”
if they ask something need say “Y”

After all files inside the folder will delete

Now you can install Figma again.

Thank You! It really works!

EugeneF1 · August 28, 2021, 8:14pm

Oh God! Thank you so much! It really works

Alina_Nozik · September 14, 2021, 6:09am

What is "del /s /q “Figma”? Where I can find this?

tank666 · September 14, 2021, 8:29am

This command must be written on the command prompt.
