[PD] HELP: Pure Data Vanilla v.0.54-0 under Windows 10 22H2 64-bit is not running!

[Linux ROUEN]

Hello Miller,
Thanks for your reply.

No more luck trying to launch Pd Vanilla 0.54.0 after my 3rd installation attempt under Windows 10.

Installation procedure (with antivirus disabled):
- Manually deleted "C:\Program Files\Pd" folder,
- Manually deleted Pd Vanilla "StartMenu" entries,
- Rebooted my PC,
- Installed "pd-0.54-0.windows-installer.exe" file without any errors,
  . except a warning message at the beginning of the procedure stating that:
    "System tells there is already a Pd installation" which impossible!
- At the end of the installation, ran Pure Data 0.54.0, but nothing happened!
- In the Windows Tasks Manager, Wish is running but no Pd.
See the attached zip file summarizing the above.

Best,
Joseph Gastelais

Well, first off I'd like to see if you can get back up and running  0.53 
OK - then we can confidently try to figure out what happened with 0.54.

I think the machine failed to un-install Pd 0.54 because it was running 
somehow without showing any windows.  The fix for that would be to look 
in the "task manager" (open that using the famous control-alt-delete key 
combination) and find all copies of Pd that are running, and kill them.  
At that point an "uninstall" should work, but it would be simpler and 
more direct simply to delete the folder "\Program Files\Pd".

Once that's done you should be able to install and run Pd 0.53 as it was 
working before.

NExt step, since this is Windows, might be simply to reinstall 0.54 and 
try it again.  If it doesn't immediately work then let's try together to 
figure out why and how to fix it :)
