[PD] Calling for Pd Windows installer tests.

[Linux ROUEN]

Hello Lucarda,

My PC is running under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 22H2 (build 19045.3208), and yes it has tasklist.exe v.10.0.19041.1. as of 2019/07/12.
Unfortunately I still can't run Pd Vanilla 0.54.0 since I tried to update it about one month ago. See my previous emails on this subject.

* All the following tests are done with my Avast antivirus totally disabled.

1. While Pd is running, run the installer 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe'
- Trying to run Pd but nothing on the screen, only Wish Application is running in the background.
- Now running Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe, at the 4th window there are 3 choices:
  . Continue (normal installation)
  . Clear Pd preferences and exit
  . Repair Pd(64) defaults to open .pd files and exit
  I choose Continue
- On the 5th screen I get:
  . Run the uninstaller (recommended)
  . Install as an alternate app
  . Continue
  I choose Cancel
I reboot my PC under Windows.

2. Pd is not running, run the installer 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe'
- I checked than neither Wisk nor Pd are running, which is the case.
- Now running Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe at the 4th window there are 3 choices (same as in above 1.):
  . Continue (normal installation)
  . Clear Pd preferences and exit
  . Repair Pd(64) defaults to open .pd files and exit
  I choose Continue
- On the 5th screen I get (same as in above 1.):
  . Run the uninstaller (recommended)
  . Install as an alternate app
  . Continue
  I choose Cancel

QUESTION:
Is it safe in my case to run your 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe' to see if I can get Pd 0.54.0 finally working on my PC ?

Thanks. Best,
Joseph Gastelais

Hi list,

We are working on a safer and better Pd Windows installer. We call for a 
bit of testing to check if it's working on all Windows versions (editions).

We are not sure if the installer is able to find out if there are any 
running Pd app at the time the installer runs.

The test is simple:
- get an installer (any of the two should work) from:
     https://nc.nubegris.com.ar/index.php/s/E7Pyg3M9ZA7Hygo

- run the installer while Pd is running.
     - EXPECTED: at some point, before actually installing, a window 
will pop saying it refuses to continue and the installer will quit.

- run the installer without Pd running.
     - EXPECTED: here you should be able to get the installer running until
         -A) you are asked to uninstall Pd. you don't have do anything 
else, just quit.
         -B) in case you don't have Pd installed, until you have to 
choose the path for installation, you don't have to install the app, 
just quit.

To detect if Pd is running we are using an internal Windows command 
"tasklist.exe" but we are not sure if it's available on all Windows 
versions (editions).

We know it works on:
WinXP [i386] (pro)
Win8.1 [amd64] (pro)
Win10 [amd64] (enterprise) (home)
Win11 [amd64] (pro)

Please if you have a couple of minutes run the test and post back if the 
installer is not working as EXPECTED.

Thanks,
Lucarda
