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

Sun Jul 9 01:04:19 CEST 2023

So back on track to the Pd List...

The bad thing under Windows 10 64-bit started yesterday when I used the Uninstall included into Pd 0.53.2 prior trying to install Pd 0.54.0 (see my previous emails here below).
By the way today I updated Purr Data from 2.19.2 to 2.19.3 and everything went well including the launch of the application an use of my patches. The Uninstall previous version function included directly into the program has made its job.
And yes, I'm since years with only one account with Admin rights and never had such kind of issue under Windows 10 Pro neither with Pd Vanilla, nor Pd-L2Ork nor Purr Data, nor now PlugData.

So if both Pd 0.54.0 .exe and .zip are effectively working on other Windows 10 machines (PLEASE DO CONFIRM), I do need to investigate in depth what happened on mine!

OMG!
what is happening with your machine?
i'm totally lost :)

looking at the pics you posted to the list: why you could not write 
files if you are admin?

why you can't run your unzipped “pd-0.54-0.msw.zip” ?
really lost!!!

please don't reply to me on this address and lets continue on the pd-list.

Hello Lucarda,

I’m running Window 10 Pro with an Administrator account since years (see here below picture).
As written, I never had this kind of issue with  Pd Vanilla neither 0.53.0, nor 0.53.1 and 0.53.2.
Nevertheless, I will investigate your 3 messages and will see.

Also have a look at my last answer to Miller where the unzipped “pd-0.54-0.msw.zip” file is not working too.

Thanks,
Joseph Gastelais

Done... pd-0.54-0.msw.zip... but there is no "pd.cmd" inside the "\Desktop\pd-0.54-0\bin" folder... only "pd.com" and "pd.exe".

Double-clicking on "pd.com" opens for about 1 second a terminal but doesn't launch Pd Vanilla.
Double-clicking on "pd.exe" doesn't launch Pd Vanilla.
In both case, no "wish" found in the Windows Tasks Manager.

Thanks.

Well, the "System tells there is already a Pd installation" message 
looks suspicious - but I don't understand the inner workings of the 
installer generator ("nsis") that makes the .exe file so I'm not sure if 
it's anything to worry about.

OTOH, one thing to try would be to manually ... grab the ".zip" file and 
unzip it somewhere in your own files (desktop is OK), then click inside 
"PD\bin" and try starting "pd.cmd" (the terminal app version) and see 
what it says/does.

 From the fact that you have a hung "Wish" app but no "pd" I think 
somehow the gui application (a Wish script) is somehow not even getting 
to where it tries to start pd, which is a separate application with no GUI.

Meanwhile I can't get to a Windows 10 machine myself until Wednesday so 
I can't test any of this myself yet.

Thanks for the reporting in any case!
