Everything will not install

Post by rebadurchee »

Trying to run Everything. It won't run. I tried to uninstall it but it won't uninstall. It won't go away when Control panel asks me if I want to remove it from list. There is an installation in Program Files (x86) even though I have a Win7 64bit OS. I downloaded the 64 bit install package. It won't install, saying it can't find 'everything.exe' in a User/***/Local/Temp/*** directory. the actual 'everything.exe' program does show up in another temp directory, but won't run from there.

I have run AVG 2015 virus scan: no issues. I have run Malwarebytes: no Issues. Now I can't login to my Admin account. I don't know what to do. Suggestions?

Your anti virus might be blocking Everything from running from the temp folder.

To install Everything manually:
  • Download the portable version from http://www.voidtools.com/downloads/.
  • Extract the Everything.exe to C:\Program Files\Everything
  • Run Everything.
  • Select Install Everything service if requested.
  • Enable Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything from Tools -> Options -> General.
  • Enable any other install options from Tools -> Options -> General.
To uninstall Everything manually:
