I can't reproduce this.

[mark05e]

The application works but the error still shows up. I have tried to uninstall/install but the error still persists for me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@TheRandomLabs are you saying you did not get the error?

[TheRandomLabs]

Yeah, I didn't get the error. Does Everything.exe exist in ~\scoop\apps\everything-beta-np\1.4.1.1000?

[mark05e]

Yeah just checked. It is not there. 😐 Will investigate further.

Investigation Notes:

1. Uninstalled everything-beta-np. Made sure folders do not exist.
2. Install everything-beta-np. Installer creates 2 folders. Older version contains files - newer version folder does not contain any files.
3. Upon uninstall, older version gets uninstalled instead.
4. Based on change notes - noticed some registry related additions (ref 995). Used Regscanner and cleaned up some stuff from the registry. The 2 folder issue does not show up again.

Stuff I removed from my registry - https://gist.github.com/mark05e/738cf6be3b611a1e0c6dfbf5e898019f.

If you download the installer manually and run it with the command line arguments /S /D=[dir], does Everything get installed to the specified directory?

[mark05e]

I have got it working after cleaning up the registry as mentioned on step 4. We can close this now. I think registry cleanup needs to be handled somewhere. I will try to raise it up with the application author sometime.
