the same thing happens to me, I've tried many times and it never goes beyond that.

Hello. Anyone having this problem, please open Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DXGL, and use File->Export to export the DXGL branch, and attach it here. That way I can investigate what causes the upgrade process to hang.

Test on Windows 7 SP1 Install path C:\Games\DXGL Clean Install I have tried it with versions DXGL-0.5.20-win32-msvc10.exe and DXGL-0.5.20-win32.exe, the setup always hangs at DXGLCFG.EXE. When I kill DXGLCFG.EXE with the taskmanager, the setup continues (same at uninst). If I then start DXGLCFG.EXE nothing happens, only in the taskmanager the program is displayed.

I could install the older DXGL-0.5.5-win32.exe version, but I can't configure anything. I get a completely different UI than under Windows XP. Sorry, but I have no idea how to upload a screenshot here.

Unfortunately there is not much in the registry DXGL-0.5.5-win32.exe

Thanks for the follow-up; I will test to see if either Registry dump causes the freeze.

I'll test it probably by this weekend in a VM.

The setup of version DXGL-0.5.19-win32.exe works fine and also the UI looks as expected. DXGL-0.5.19

Did you have a debug version of 0.5.20? UÏ Screenshot v 0.5.5

[dxgldotorg]

Thanks, seems I may have made a mistake in a patch between 0.5.19 and 0.5.20. I'll use the attached Registry files to try to make it freeze and when I isolate the effected revision will make a patch.

👍

[dxgldotorg]

Sorry, things have been a bit hectic; I'll try to get to it this weekend, as I get my testing VMs re-deployed.

[Ohrwerk]

Just don't get stressed. Christmas is just around the corner and take some time for yourself. Nothing is more important than life. Have a nice weekend.

[dxgldotorg]

I've started testing already, haven't reproduced the issue yet but I'll be looking through the loops on profile_install for errors that can result in infinite loops.

[dxgldotorg]

I believe the changes I have made should mitigate the issue. Closing #14.

[dxgldotorg]

New version is now released. If you find any further issues, please use the "Create memory dump file" option in Task Manager to make a memory dump of dxglcfg. This version now has debug symbols so I can diagnose issues with this release with a memory dump.

[Ohrwerk]

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the setup (dxglconfig) is still stuck. I have updated the existing working version 0.5.19. Here is the desired dump, hope it helps. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yYzBWmMnRg5hZTX0iGiRlG1_cxvWtAPO/view?usp=sharing

[dxgldotorg]

Thanks for the memory dump, I have now isolated the issue. Expect another release soon.

[dxgldotorg]

Turns out I did something a bit stupid in the dllmain, and that was causing the process to lock up.

Please note the installer does not have debugging symbols, and was not of use to me for diagnosis.

I actually believed it was the registry code, but at least I know that code is now good.

[dxgldotorg]

Please try the latest release.

[Ohrwerk]

Yes, thank you very much. The setup is now working.
