Commit - 543ebac - 24 Jun

Particular reason for this change... ? Its what causing this issue.

@display-driver-uninstaller/Display Driver Uninstaller/AppPaths.vb:Line 131

-:   m_exefile = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
+:  m_exefile = New Uri(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase).LocalPath

Uri trims out path after char '#' (found at 'Uri.Fragment') and escapes special chars. '#' is valid char in windows file path, including '(){}[]&@%,+'

Users path

• 'C:\Users\Other peeps\Downloads\##\DDU v17.0.9.1\Display Driver Uninstaller.exe'

Incorrectly escaped into

• 'C:\Users\Other peeps\Downloads\'

and set to m_exefile (Application.Paths.AppExeFile)

.. Because user didn't launch DDU as Admin rights, DDU attempts launch itself as admin using incorrect path "C:\Users\Other peeps\Downloads\" (Application.Paths.AppExeFile) => which is a folder and Windows doesn't know how to execute folder...

• ERROR_NO_ASSOCIATION (0x483) <-- not 0x8483, my typo on code...

Because exe path is invalid, most of other paths are as well... (Settings, DDU Logs, Languages)

I can confirm what you are saying. The change was done while testing for a user having issues to start DDU, it seems I forgot to revert this as it was not what fix it for him. Thanks for the info ;)

I pushed the fix for the next version. @devmltk I do not see this typo in code 0x8483

Also fixed the error code to show the Uinteger value (1155)
