First Run of 703b

[Stamimail]

I exit my 686 version, without disabling the serivce, and run 703b.
Problems:
1. It took too long, like a minute, till this message was displayed: "Everything" requires administrative privileges to index NTFS...
2. I chose Run as Administrator, but the program didn't Restart automatically. I needed to run it again manually.
3. While scanning, I still don't see in the Status Bar the options had been discussed like:
Press Esc - to cancel scanning and S - to skip current volume scanning

Service 1.3 and 1.4 are incompatible, only one can installed at a time.

Running 702 & Older Version Concurrently

[Stamimail]

For now, please run one as admin and the other with the service.
Besides, the problem was the long time to identify such a problem.

Yes, I've seen that too, but at this point, considered it "expected".

705b. The same issue.

Everything is sharing the same service name between Everything 1.3 and 1.4.
Only one service can be installed with the same name "Everything".
The service is not compatible between versions 1.3 and 1.4.

You will need to use the -instance <name> command line option to specify a unique name for the Everything Service in Everything 1.4, for example:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -instance 1.4

I'm looking into using a different service name for Everything 1.4, but I think this will cause more confusion.

[Stamimail]

Can't you just make a service check at first, and if this is not the same version, ask the user to uninstall first?

Not easily, I think the Everything 1.4 service name might work better. Will implement and test it out..
