program won't start anymore
Ever since i updated win 10 to the latest version , everything won't start anymore no mater what i do , even the portable won't start . the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version . I wonder if i could get an older version to work ?
Where can i find an older version ?
Thanks

Re: program won't start anymore
I just tried previous versions and nothing works .
Re: program won't start anymore
also i can't reinstall the program anymore . when i reinstall it goes through the regular process but actually does not make an installation folder and does not make a shortcut on the desk top and the program does not show up in the start meny . It's really messed up it's like it pretends to install and actually does nothing .
Re: program won't start anymore

What is this "latest version"?
Are you (your User) running as an Administrator?
Are you running Everything as Administrator?
Are you (were you) using the Everything Service?

Re: program won't start anymore
Yes to all admin and I tried non admin it's not working
Re: program won't start anymore
The latest one is the latest one in your download section I cannot remember the number
Re: program won't start anymore
I think @therube refers to your Windows version, as you said:
(My version is 1803 (OS Build 17134.165))
You can get the Windows version by excuting winver (after Win+R to activate the runbox)mastermc wrote:Ever since i updated win 10 to the latest version

BTW: How were you able to switch between these two if you can't start the program?Yes to all admin and I tried non admin it's not working
Re: program won't start anymore
i run admin and non admin in the past it was working before the latest 1803 win 10 .
Now nothing works even trying to run as admin . Like i said i uninstalled the everything program and i can't reinstall it anymore . I says it installed but nothing is there in the prgrgam files and no desk top icon shows . As i said it's like it pretends to install .

Try to uninstall Everything completely´
and then download and run the portable version from a dir like c:\tools\Everything.
Re: program won't start anymore
So, to be clear:
- if you run the setup, you are not presented with installation choices?
- There is no Everything in Add/Remove programs? (run appwiz.cpl to check).
- There is no Everything icon in the systemtray (probably hidden at first; expand the list to view all of them)?
- There is no Everything foledr unde c:\Program Files / C:\Program Files (x86)?
In that case, I'll write a script for you to clean up all remainders of previous installations/experiments so that you can start clean.

Re: program won't start anymore
Just tried the installer (Everything-1.4.1.895.x64-Setup.exe) and noticed that when you choose "Run as administrator" during setup, you don't get to see the startmenu entries, as they are created in the startmenu of Administrator! (That was unexpected ...)
Re: program won't start anymore
Sounds like Everything is being blocked by your anti-virus?
What anti-virus do you have?
Please try adding an exception for Everything.exe.

That's a bug in the installer. The installer should have been installing the start menu shortcuts as the current user, not as administrator. Same issue applies to the Desktop shortcut.Just tried the installer (Everything-1.4.1.895.x64-Setup.exe) and noticed that when you choose "Run as administrator" during setup, you don't get to see the startmenu entries, as they are created in the startmenu of Administrator!

Re: program won't start anymore
Hi Just to be clear ,
There is nothing to uninstall since i already unintalled everything the first time that i could not run the program . Since then i have tried running the portable for version 32 bit and 64 bit and it does nothing and it does not run at all . I have tried to install quite a few version of 32 bit and 64 bit but as i said it pretends to install but leaves no trail on my computer , it leaves nothing in the start menu and nothng in the prgram files and nothing on the desktop .
Maybe you could send me that clean up tool as maybe there is some freaky stuff in the regestry .
Thanks

Re: program won't start anymore
To be clear, the UI does not show at all?it does not run at all
Does Everything.exe show as process in Task Manager?
As asked, A/V?
Reboot your computer?
Reboot your computer into Safe Mode?
Any difference there?
Where ever Everything installs to (by default, which I'm not sure of offhand) & likewise where it stores its settings, rename said directories (something like dirname.OLD) such that a new attempt to (run|install) Everything does not see them at all.
(Likely to find install locations starting here, http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 456#p22456.)
Re: program won't start anymore
no ui even tried rebooting many times and nothing not even in task manager and nothing like i said it's like program pretended to install nut actually puts no trace on my computer
Please explain what i should do in safe mode ?
do you want me to install it in safe mode ?
I need details instructions .

BTW: Everything does not do very much in the registry that might block a new installation (possible exeption: the Everything service)

Click (run) Everything.exe from the "portable" version (&/or see if running the installer version accomplishes anything [or Everything

Download & run ExecutedProgramsList, sort by 'Last Executed On' column, see if Everything.exe turns up?
Check your A/V logs & see if it mentions Everything?

What Win-10 build version do you have? Run c:\> winver to find out.
This should AFAICS be 1803, OS-build 17134.191 if you use the last stable version.
The latest preview version 1803, OS-build 17692.1004 (which I have on a laptop here) is not stable.
Re: program won't start anymore
Everything might be trying to launch as admin, which might be blocked by your UAC settings, please try running Everything as a standard user:
System modifications made by Everything if you would like to try manually uninstalling.
- Right click your Everything.exe
- Click Properties.
- Click the Compatibility tab.
- Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
- Click OK.
- Delete your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe.

Void : i tried the properties but run as admin is already unchecked so i tried to run it and it did not work and then i check the run as admin and again nothing works . I tried with the portable and it does not run and i tried to install again and nothing happens.

Re: program won't start anymore
Here is your cleanup script. Only tested on Win10 (although it should work on Win7 too, but there some options are undocumented)
Instructions:
BTW: You can run the script multiple times (although it will have nothing to do the second time)
Do NOT try to install Everything right after that. Instructions for that will follow.
Instructions:
- Download opruimen.zip to your system
- Right-click opruimen.zip
- Click the General tab
- Check the Unblock option (if you don't see that option, you're good..)
- Click the OK button
- Unzip opruimen.zip to some folder (non-Everything related, as those will be deleted)
- Right-click opruimen.cmd
- Select "Run as Administrator"
- Enter password
- Answer the questions you are presented.If things are normal, you can answer every question with Y or Y + Enter (but check thoroughly; if it wants to remove C:\ and all contents, better say No
)

Re: program won't start anymore
TEST installation of Everything:
STEP 1:
STEP 1:
- Download the Portable Zip 64 bit from the voidtools' homepage (currently: https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.895.x64.zip)
- Right-click Everything-1.4.1.895.x64.zip
- Click the General tab
- Check the Unblock option (if you don't see that option, you're good..)
- Click the OK button
- Unzip Everything-1.4.1.895.x64.zip to some empty folder (let's say C:\TEST).
- Start CMD
- issue commands:
(replace C:\TEST with your folder name)
Code: Select all
CD /D "C:\TEST" DIR /B
The result of those commands should be that you are now in the C:\TEST folder and 2 files are in that folder: Everything.exe and Everything.lng - Issue the next two commands
Code: Select all
Everything.exe -quit DIR /B
- You're done

Actual installation is at least a couple of steps away. Hence my remark:

If you still see just the two original files, rename Everything.exe to TEST.exe and issue the following two commands (:

Re: program won't start anymore
Create a temporary directory somewhere
Copy Everything.exe into it
From a C: prompt within that directory, run:
Does Everything open?
Likewise, what files are now in C:\TMPDIR\ ?

There are no other file names. Nothing happens emplies that when I run the program it's almost the same as doing nothing . Idk how else to explain it .

Re: program won't start anymore
I ran the portable now and it works after i ran the last command you gave me , renaming everything to test .
Anyhow i can't install the program . I mean when i install it it does nothing so i can only use the portable version for now.

Re: program won't start anymore
I was going to ignore the rest of your messages and do more useful things, but then realized that this is the perfect example of how *NOT* to react on a forum (or anywhere else for that matter). Good to refer to in other threads (although similar situations don't come up very often)
Interesting thing:

This list is not complete; just to give people an impression
You probably still don't get what I want to say, but that's okay. It was written for other people reading this, so that they can benefit from it.

Re: program won't start anymore
I have run into this problem, Everything will just not launch. Zip.
I would like to make sure my theory is right:
Everything (1.4.1.969 x64 Win 10 Home) does not launch if you have Intel Virtualization enabled at BIOS level.
I have tested. Is there any workaround?
Scenario: I have been studying docker and had to turn virtualization on for it to work on Win 10 Home through Oracle VM. Since then, Eveything failed to open. If I switch virtualization back off, Everything opens normally.

Long enough that I thought something was wrong, opened the (debugger?), which only displayed a few lines, then walked away.
When I came back, drive activity, & debugger were churning away, & results were displaying as expected.
I'm pretty sure ? that the extended delay was due to no existing .db, compounded by system boot activity & overall slow computer [i.e., the perfect storm, Windows 10].)
