    Just attempted to download 4.2.5, but Norton Antivirus says that both Windows 32 and 64 bit are unsafe and deletes them. Are others encountering this problem?

    Thanks for the update!

    1. Family trees > export – throws an error message “django.conf could not be found”

    2. Geography > All knows Places – doesn’t show any places (it works in GrampsAIO64 4.2.1)

    I use GrampsAIO-4.2.5-1_win64.exe

    I have 2 problems:
    1= As for IRENE M, my 360* antivirus program also blocked the exe file as very unsafe;
    2+ Unabe to find the french version for Windows 10 64.
    Anybody can help ?

    I have upgraded to 4.2.5 recently and have a few issues.
    When I start it up I get a message “The ‘git’ command requires the command line developer tools. Would you like to install the tools now?” Buttons available , and . I choose Not Now.
    It then ask if I want to upgrade the family tree when I try to load it. fortunately i have it backed-up because it corrupts the data. It sometimes duplicates every individual, breaks links etc.
