installer version for arm64?

Post by adoucette »

Hello,
I see the portable versions available for arm64, but not a windows exe or msi installer for arm64. Where can I find one of those for voidtools everything?
AND THANK YOU for a great indexing tool!

They are not available for Everything 1.4.
The Everything 1.4 installer uses NSIS.
AFAIK NSIS doesn't support ARM/ARM64.

I wrote my own installer for Everything 1.5.
Everything 1.5 will have an ARM/ARM64 installer once in beta.
(including an msi installer for ARM/ARM64)



To install Everything 1.4 on ARM/ARM64:
  • Download the ARM portable zip
  • Extract the Everything.exe to your Desktop
  • Move Everything.exe to:
    C:\Program Files\Everything
  • Launch C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe
  • If prompted with Everything requires administrative privileges to index NTFS volumes, check Install Everything Service and click OK.
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service.
  • Click OK.


Notes:
The Everything.exe from the installer and portable zip are the same.
The installer does exactly the same as above.

Thank you. I wasn't aware that the installer essentially just accomplished the steps above -- that's really helpful and makes it easy to set up for use. Following your instructions I then just created a shortcut to the executable in the AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
Thanks again for the great tool.
