Well, first off I'd like to see if you can get back up and running  0.53 OK - then we can confidently try to figure out what happened with 0.54.

I think the machine failed to un-install Pd 0.54 because it was running somehow without showing any windows.  The fix for that would be to look in the "task manager" (open that using the famous control-alt-delete key combination) and find all copies of Pd that are running, and kill them.  At that point an "uninstall" should work, but it would be simpler and more direct simply to delete the folder "\Program Files\Pd".

Once that's done you should be able to install and run Pd 0.53 as it was working before.

NExt step, since this is Windows, might be simply to reinstall 0.54 and try it again.  If it doesn't immediately work then let's try together to figure out why and how to fix it :)

Hello Pd List,

Under Windows 10 22H2 64-bit, the previous 3 versions 0.53.0, 0.53.1 and 0.53.2 of Pure Data Vanilla were working okay, but not the latest 0.54.0 version!

I tried today to update to it using the ‘pd-0.54-0.windows-installer.exe’ file from Miller’s site but after the installation trying to launch it nothing happens.

Installation procedure (with antivirus disabled):

• Uninstall Pd 0.53.2: okay

• Install ‘pd-0.54-0.windows-installer.exe’: everything went well

• Launch Pd 0.54.0: nothing happens!

• Uninstall Pd 0.54.0: okay

• Reinstall ‘pd-0.53-2.windows-installer.exe’: but lot of errors which

was not the case previously!

• Launch Pd 0.53.2: it’s opening?!

See the attached zip file for the error messages.

• Uninstall Pd 0.53.2: okay

• Reinstall ‘pd-0.54-0.windows-installer.exe’: but now a lot of errors

like with 0.53.2 reinstallation!

• Launch Pd 0.54.0: still nothing happens!!

See the attached zip file for the error messages.

See also the attached Pd Bin & Font zip file for the folders content.

Any idea what is going wrong with Pd 0.54.0 installation and now also with Pd 0.53.2 reinstallation?

Everything seems to be broken!

Thanks,

Joseph Gastelais
