OK, thanks, Rex. I figured it was something like that when Vince suggested the Microsoft tool (which I will now keep in my arsenal of troubleshooting tools -- Thanks, Vince!) and the problem was fixed after using it. Anyway, the boo-boo is all better now, and thanks to both of you for your...

I deleted the C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD27 folder and all its contents, a "hard" delete where it didn't go to the recycle bin. My brain must have been on autopilot at the time, don't know why. I didn't do anything to the Registry, though. But even before that happened, I tried to do an...

That indeed fixed the problem. Thank you!!!!!

Thanks, Vince. I'm giving it a try now.

Attached is the log for the latest attempt at installation (had to rename it because .LOG files won't go.) Perhaps that might be of help. Thanks.

Repair is not offered as an option.

I tried to install it but it won't install. I had it installed before as a trial version, but somehow I managed to delete it entirely during the process of troubleshooting the problem. (I fat-fingered something and blew the v27 installation away, sorry.) Now I can't UNinstall the v27 system...

Hello Rex, and all the ships at sea... (anyone remember THAT old radio intro?) Just purchased a license for v27 to upgrade from 26. Attempted to install but forgot I already has the 27 trial installed. Got the error, "The specified account already exists" when doing the installation. Did...

Wow, LOTS of awesome information on the subject! I know this will fix my issue, so I'll print this all out and get cracking on the problem. I appreciate the access to the collective knowledge here (wait, that sounds like something Borg-related out of Star Trek, maybe I shouldn't go there....)...

Thanks for the reply, Rex. I figured as much, but if you don't ask you don't get, right? And "no" IS a legit answer! :) Glad to hear from everyone else on the subject. I appreciate the info. Hadn't heard of PowerBASIC, Joe, I'll have to check that out, if for no other reason than satisfying...

I've always been a big fan of offline-access to support forums. I guess this goes back to my CompuServe days, when I was sysop of the Ashton-Tate forums. These days, things like that -- for me -- take the form of Usenet newsgroups and the Agent news reader, although there are other such...

Ran into a head-scratcher tonight, can't find it in the help file so thought I'd pop in here with a question: I'm trying to create an ALIAS that runs three commands: date /t "%F" time /t "%T" free C: Basically giving a date/time stamp on the output of the command to show free space on the C...

I've tried putting a shortcut in the Startup folder in Windows, and I've even thought of looking in the Registry for the entry that starts up applications on login, but I haven't been able to get TCMD to start up at each login to Windows 10. I'm using the April 2018 release of Windows 10, and I...

Once upon a time I knew that. Sometimes, now that I'm going to hit the big six-oh next year, I feel like HAL in 2001: "My mind is going, Dave, I can feel it..." Thanks for reminding me about TCSTART.BTM, I should have remembered that. <Insert picture of me banging my head here>

OK, thanks, Charles. That's a good idea. How do I make those alias settings permanent, so that I don't have to enter the alias commands each time I open up TCMD/TCC?
