Re: Can't upload to 140.163.4.231 again

I've been getting the same error with the same server for the past 24 hours. I've restarted folding, and restarted my computer. 09:29:26:WU01:FS01:Sending unit results: id:01 state:SEND error:NO_ERROR project:11744 run:0 clone:9804 gen:85 core:0x22 unit:0x000000748ca304f15e6bc3e42e79b143 09:29:26:WU...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

As others have noted, installing 7.6.9 added an uninstaller for me. I used custom, leaving all of the defaults, except installing the screen saver. There was no option to not include an uninstaller.

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

I don't understand why GoG Galaxy would be putting programs in Program Files x86\FAHclient. The developer made what seemed like a reasonable assumption that the subdirectory named FAHClient could be owned by the developer of software named FAHClient. GoG didn't do anything to the FAHclient folder o...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

Is there a way to mark a thread as resolved, or mark a post as a solution?

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

after shutting GOG Galaxy down (I'll point out this is 2.0, as well) I was able to delete the folder. Thanks Jason. I'm non running the GOG 2.0 beta, but apparently I was letting GOG 1.2 start in the background at boot on this system. Exiting GOG through the systray freed the DLLs and the FAH updat...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

You're protective of FAH, which is understandable. I wouldn't be here if I didn't value the project, and what it does. I'm investing my time more to help the community get a jump on the problem than get a solution for myself. I'd like to see FAH maintain the huge surge in popularity that their COVID...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

After a brute force uninstall, I do a search for appropriate strings in both Windows Explorer and Regedit to find and purge the file structure and Registry of unwanted files, folders, and keys. Usually takes 5 minutes or less... I appreciate the suggestion. Yes, there's a good chance of success, bu...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

Thanks jrweiss. And thanks goates, you are experiencing exactly what I am. I also have tried all of those things and more, with no success, except going through and manually deleting the entire folder. I'd rather not try the brute force suggestion since Windows installers usually riddle the OS with ...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

Thank you for the suggestions.

I always use the default install directory (too many programs rely on an absolute path here and there).

The control panel also throws an error. I imagine it tries to call the same missing uninstaller. I does, kindly, offer to remove the app from the list.

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

Wait, what? I have to uninstall it to reinstall it, and I have to reinstall it to install the uninstaller? I still have the 7.5.1 installer (my current version). In advanced you get to choose two folders, how to start the program, and optionally install the screen saver (which I did not do the first...

Re: 7.6.9 Upgrade Fails on Windows 10

Thanks. How do I uninstall FAH? The FAH start menu group doesn't include the uninstaller the main site FAQ refers to, and the uninstall command in Apps & Features throws an error, "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\Uninstall.exe'... (Note that there may be typos in these...
