@dominix looks to me like you're using a language other than English for you windows install. Is that correct? How did you try to run the program? From the command line using the -silent argument or just running it normally as administrator?

Try placing DisableWinTracking.exe directly onto the primary hard drive (usually C:) and run it as administrator from there.

Hi, guys. I also have problem with launch of new 3.2.2 version.

Windows Edition (Home/Pro/Enterprise): Win 7 SP1 Ent
Architecture (32bit/64bit): 32 bit
Options used: none usable

I got error about incompatible Windows architecture, but hadn't any problems with version 3.2.1 on same OS: This verison of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) verion of the program.

File was launched from c:\Temp with administrator rights.

@Ruined1 I just have downloadded the zip file, unzip it in "Downloads" folder and run DisableWinTracking.exe as administrator. Error messages came directly with no influence on parameters, same error from explorer or from cmd. regards.

BTW language on the machine is French, on the last windows 10 update (1809).

I'm going to release a new version within the hour. please extract it directly to your main drive and run as administrator. This would usually mean your file path will be C:\DisableWinTracking.exe

DeeJayhX commented 5 years ago

@GoldRamAncestor Try redownloading the release. I recompiled it for 32-bit.

@Ruined1, hi. I redownloaded the release and relaunched exe-file, but now I have another error:

C:\Users\Administrator>c:\Temp\dwt-3.2.2-cp27-win_x86\DisableWinTracking.exe Traceback (most recent call last): File "dwt.py", line 29, in File "c:\users\winbox\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-w9ip7k\pyinstaller\PyInst aller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 395, in load_module File "dwt_util.py", line 21, in ImportError: No module named pywintypes [228] Failed to execute script dwt

Error is same on the Win7 SP1 Ent x32 RU and W2K12 R2 Std x64 En.

DeeJayhX commented 5 years ago

@GoldRamAncestor Yea, that was patched in code last night, I'll upload the new release momentarily

DeeJayhX commented 5 years ago

@GoldRamAncestor ok, try 3.2.3 from https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases/tag/3.2.3

GoldRamAncestor commented 5 years ago

Hi, @Ruined1. Now It's working without incompatible Windows architecture errors on the Win7 SP1 Ent x32 Ru and W2K12 R2 Std x64 En, thanks.

DeeJayhX commented 5 years ago

Wonderful, thank you for working with me on this.
