Homebrew Question Probleming installing certain NSP's via Tinfoil/Goldleaf or Devmenu

[Chrisssj2]

I am trying to install

"https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases"
And "https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/"

On gold leaf this installs without problem "https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/"
The ""https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases" Gives no message, just a freeze of app.

On tinfoil NOTHING installs. "https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases" Says failed to read nsp metadata and this one "https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/" says empty icon could not start software after install.

With SX OS own menu /installer ""https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases" Installs but no entry at all is made in my homemenu for it... Can't even find it in Switch "software" to delete what was installed...
"https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/" Installs normally with SX OS own installer...

Devmenu:
"https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases" Says Installable content is not fond confirm the nsp file 0x000000a5
"https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/" Is installed normally.


So a few things I take from this:
Why is Tinfoil installing NOTHING???!
The 45 KB from https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases Doesn't seem to work on any installer. Probably a problem with this file itself?

nx-hbloader is not supposed to be installed as a nsp...It is used as part of CFWs AFAIK.

Its not a .NSP file that you install. See, the people behind ReSwitched and Switchbrew hate pirates so much so they purposely named these exefs override files as .NSP to confuse pirates.

It goes in the CFW folder. If you download the latest Atmosphere or ReiNX (from the ReiNX guide, not the GitHub page), hbl.nsp is already included in the CFW folder meaning there is not much point in downloading it separately.
