Hi Joseph,
I'm following your case and it's the cause for having a "safer" installer for good.
In your case we know that pd.exe or pd.com (these are the ones we filter via tasklist.exe) refuses to open because is blacklisted by the OS so detection is not working as expected (for your case, of course).
Is it safe in my case to run your 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe' to see if I can get Pd 0.54.0 finally working on my PC ?
You could try it but I expect it won't work because all files, are taken from Miller's builds and pd.exe, pd.com and pd.dll are the exact same ones you got blacklisted.
But if you desperately need 0.54-0 you can use the installer new tool and do this pseudo install:
IIRC you could run the GDB-Pd[*] app you got from
https://nc.nubegris.com.ar/index.php/s/eKrTbHE4iyqAgAg
uncompress the folder somewhere in your machine
run the test installer
- get into: "Repair Pd(64) defaults to open .pd files and exit"
- select the main folder of your extracted GDB-Pd[*]
- voilà: now .pd files opens with that Pd which is rather the same you get with the app installed. Note that you don't have any start menu, desktop short-cut, and other stuff so to start the app you only need to double-click on any .pd file. (and yes, with this tool all subsequent double-clicks on .pd files opens in the same Pd instance)
[*] this app contains a 32bit tcl/tk. AFAICT the only thing that does not work is the dnd-plugin.

Hello Lucarda,
My PC is running under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 22H2 (build 19045.3208), and yes it has tasklist.exe v.10.0.19041.1. as of 2019/07/12. Unfortunately I still can't run Pd Vanilla 0.54.0 since I tried to update it about one month ago. See my previous emails on this subject.
- All the following tests are done with my Avast antivirus totally disabled.
- While Pd is running, run the installer 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe'
- Trying to run Pd but nothing on the screen, only Wish Application is running in the background.
- Now running Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe, at the 4th window there are 3 choices: . Continue (normal installation) . Clear Pd preferences and exit . Repair Pd(64) defaults to open .pd files and exit I choose Continue
- On the 5th screen I get: . Run the uninstaller (recommended) . Install as an alternate app . Continue I choose Cancel
I reboot my PC under Windows.
- Pd is not running, run the installer 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe'
- I checked than neither Wisk nor Pd are running, which is the case.
- Now running Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe at the 4th window there are 3 choices (same as in above 1.): . Continue (normal installation) . Clear Pd preferences and exit . Repair Pd(64) defaults to open .pd files and exit I choose Continue
- On the 5th screen I get (same as in above 1.): . Run the uninstaller (recommended) . Install as an alternate app . Continue I choose Cancel
QUESTION: Is it safe in my case to run your 'Pd-0.54-x.windows-installer.exe' to see if I can get Pd 0.54.0 finally working on my PC ?
Thanks. Best, Joseph Gastelais
