Can not instal - Waiting for program to close

Hello welcome on board,

maybe this thread can help you to solve the problem:

Have you had a former TC installation and maybe used inireloc.exe? Or did you give the path to wincmd.ini with %Commander_path%? If yes you'll have to remove the enty in your registry, for if TC isn't startet this variable is emty and you crash the install routine.

I did it myself som time ago.

Not that I know of. None of those apps ring a bell.

Maybe you're running an AV-Program? The exe of Total Commander is packed by the UPX -Packer and some AV progs are not abele to unpack those files - and maybe they prevent the install.exe from unpacking the programfile.

So if you are running an AV-Prog, deactivate it for the time you install Total Commander. If that does the trick you probably need the unpacked program file.

Disabled my AVs autoprotect but no change.

Silly me typed in two :: in the installation path and never noticed them untiil now. Installed ok once that was fixed.

Now I can ask then next time someone cannot install TC:

Have you possibly typed two ':' into the path??


serious: Fine that it works now.
