error installing new build of v31

Charles G · 2024-02-05

I have the problem installing v31 b22, please see attahed log....

rconn · 2024-02-05

You got an internal Windows Installer error on Everything.exe.

How did you do the install - via the updater or manually? Did you select Everything Search for installation?

Charles G · 2024-02-05

@rconn - manually, and I chose not to install ES....

Charles G · 2024-02-05

Code:

[C:\]dir /b /s everyting.*
C:\ZZ_DoneSorted\CSV_0001\everyting.csv

[C:\]alias every*
TCC: Not an alias "every*"

rconn · 2024-02-05

We do not support manual updating, only via the updater.

Exactly how are you installing? The exact sequence of steps.

Charles G · 2024-02-05

@rconn -

1) download from https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v31/tcmd.exe
2) run file
3) <next>
4) this time i chose remove.... follow up after i reboot and restart the install

Charles G · 2024-02-05

5) tcmd doesn't appear in programs list
6) files still in c:\program files\jpsoft\
7) followoing keys appear
a) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\Search And Replace
b) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\Take Command 30 LE
c) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\Take Command 31

Any ideas?

Charles G · 2024-02-06

@rconn @Charles Dye - any further help?

Charles Dye · 2024-02-06

I would say "uninstall, reboot, and reinstall." But it looks like you've already tried that.

vefatica · 2024-02-06

I saw this in the log which @Charles G posted. It seems a little odd.

AI_INSTALL_MODE = Repair

Charles G · 2024-02-06

1) should I remove the files in "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD31" - should I remove those and what about 7a to c above? should I remove b and c at least?

Charles G · 2024-02-06

after renaming the TCMD31 folder to TCMD31_Backup, turning off the PC, etc, then installing the b22, This is the message I get now...

This installer and/or the Windows Installer Service is a pile of mess:

What I do is close tcc.exe, start cmd.exe to run this newly downloaded
c:\ProgramData\JP Software\TCC 31\updates\Update\tcc.exe (60 MByte)

Go through all the installer steps, including inserting my activation-key I got by email.
Works for me, but awkward.

Charles G · 2024-02-07

@Gisle Vanem - those steps do not help me, same error

Anyone know what the 38-character product code is and is it the same for all builds of TCMD v31? @rconn ??

vefatica · 2024-02-07

Might be these 38-character subkey names.

Those correspond roughly to these 38-character subdirectory names.

I have one per major version. I wouldn't mess with them.

Charles G · 2024-02-07

@vefatica what is the 38 char key for v31 ?

vefatica · 2024-02-07

It's {F518F6ED-CEA1-433F-BE6C-6DBA08F8DFD0} on my computer.

Charles G · 2024-02-08

@vefatica , @rconn , @Charles Dye - any further help?

vefatica · 2024-02-08

Earlier you said you renamed the TCMD31 folder and then it couldn't be uninstalled. That seems like no surprise.

Are you trying to uninstall from here?

Alpengreis · 2024-02-08

Another solution could be - MAKE BACKUP FIRST AND TRY AT OWN RISK - to remove it completely manually - means: remove all related files for example in:

program dir
in AppData\Local dir
AppData\Roaming dir
in ProgramData dir

and remove also all related RegKeys

Then try to install it again ...

@vefatica - what search terms did you use to find these ?

@vefatica - what search terms did you use to find these ?

REGFIND.EXE is a program that I wrote. It's hard to use. I issued this and edited out a few non-apropos results.

Code:

regfind all /D F518F6ED-CEA1-433F-BE6C-6DBA08F8DFD0 & regfind all /K F518F6ED-CEA1-433F-BE6C-6DBA08F8DFD0

That is, look for case-insensitive matches in data (/D) and then in key names (/K). Here's REGFIND's syntax.

Code:

REGFIND hive[\key[\...]] | all [/W] [/N] ...

        ... [/D [filter]] [/v|/V [filter]] [/k|/K [filter]] [/t|/T [filter]]

    hive = khcr | hkcu | hklm | hku

    The default matching for key, value, and data filters is case-insensitive substring matching

    /w - (or /W) use wildcard (simple, * and ?) matching instead of the default
         Specify this option before specifying any filters

    At least one of /d, /D, /v, /V, /k, /K, /T must be specified

    /d - (or /D) search data

    /v - limit data search to value names matching filter
    /V - also search for and print matching value names

    /k - limit value/data searches to key names matching filter
    /K - also search for and print matching key names

    /t - limit value/data searches to keys with write time matching time filter and output times
         time format: USER_DEFAULT_SHORT_DATE<space>USER_DEFAULT_TIME
         use /tm for milliseconds, /tu for microseconds

    /T - only output key names and write times; overrides /d, /D, /k, /K, /v, /V, and /N
         time format as above; filter matching respects the /W (/w) option
         use /Tm for milliseconds, /Tu for microseconds

    /n - (or /N) limit data searches to numbers; use decimal or hex with "0x"

       - The default filters match all ("*" for wildcards, "" for substring)

       - REG_DWORD and REG_QWORD searches are exact; use decimal or hex with 0x

       - "quote" key names and filters containing whitespace

       - Requested output (/K, /V, /d, /D) is prefixed with '*'
