Additional Troubleshooting
If the steps above don’t resolve your issue, try the following:
Check for antivirus or firewall interference:
Temporarily disable antivirus programs (e.g., Avast, CCleaner, BitDefender) or network firewalls.
Try installing Splice again.
If this fixes the problem, add Splice to the antivirus/firewall whitelist or exceptions.

Try installing in Safe Mode with Networking:
Boot your PC in Safe Mode with Networking to disable third-party software that might block installation.
For instructions: How to start your PC in Safe Mode
If installation works in Safe Mode, the issue is likely caused by antivirus, firewall, or background apps.
If your Splice Desktop app didn’t install properly using the Conveyor installer, here’s what to do next:
Download the installer again from the link above.
Run the installer and, if it fails, take note of any error messages or take screenshots.
