(Solved) Everything client fails to communicate with service named pipe

[phanta]

I've installed everything on my shiny new Win10 laptop via scoop, and I've enabled the everything service. However, when I open the search UI, the status bar just displays "Creating database..." forever, and no files are ever displayed. If I try to open the "NTFS" tab in the options dialog, the entire application hangs indefinitely.

Enabling debug logging on both the service and the client, I see that the client tries to talk with the service, but never succeeds.
Here's the client log after just opening the client and letting it sit for a few seconds:

Here's the service log; it seems to show that the connection is seen by the service, but gets rejected:

I've tried writing to and reading from the pipe via the command line, but both fail, logging "connection not allowed" in the same way, even when the terminal window is elevated. I've also tried messing around with setting permissive security descriptors and using different pipe names, but nothing changes the outcome in any way. I have no idea what's going on...

[void]

connected
connection not allowed.

This can occur if the client executable path and filename does not match the service executable path and filename.
Even though they appear to match in your case, Everything is detecting the client executable path and filename as something different.

Please try the latest nightly build for a fix.

I've uninstalled the scoop-managed version and manually installed the nightly, and the problem seems to have vanished. Nice!
