How to tell hated web thing to finish

[kerryd]

I just had to install the web thing because the one I was using just was stuck on updating , after a fresh install of every thing . I do not want to have to dump a WU but will if it starts 1 after the one its folding now . After it is done with this WU I will be uninstalling the app . Before I had to reinstall win 11 and every thing else I had fha app that I got rid of the hated WEB thing .

What fah version?
What url?
If it is version 8, you can select finish when you click pause.
Please read the guide on the download page.

What fah version? V8.5 that will be uninstalled soon . One i was trying to use is 7.4.4_x86 . Not sure if that is the one I was using before or if I found other one that works on win 11 that I could delete the web thing .

V7.4.4 is around a decade old, it is not supported, and may not work at all as it has assumptions on where the servers would be located. The last v7 client is v7.6.21, and that is 5+ years old. It has both a web control app and FAHControl.

Thanks Joe I got v7-5-1 working most likely one I had was v7.6.21 , Had to look all over the internet its not on the part of site the FHA that had all the apps . But when Windows update bricked my monitor and corrupted my hard drive I lost that download folder . I like some of the web control but do not like having to open it . I lose what ever I was doing online because I just close every thing and it makes me mad so better to not fold then use the web control . I like how its easy to change what you are folding on but I see no reason to open a web page to do it .

Bottom of the F@h Download page has a link to older versions at the bottom of the page. They did not release a 64-bit Windows version past 7.4 as they found no performance advantage to it over the 32-bit version. They also ran into a problem with the 64-bit version of one of the libraries used in the client.

The only link on that page that should give anything like code is the platforms.json file, the other links are just directory links and should take your browser to a different directory on the download server. The most useful one is the public directory.

If your browser was getting code instead of changing directories when clicking on the directory links, that would appear to be a problem with your browser.
