Failed to execute admin command

[idiot]

This seems like an easy fix, but its not. Whenever I am trying to download everything using the installer (because CLI and .zips dont work) it gives an error message saying

Code: Select all

"Failed to execute admin command."

I can't see the details(show details button)
If I try to run it as admin, same thing happens. Troubleshooting? Same thing happens.

Your anti-virus is most likely blocking Everything from running from the temp folder.
Please try the portable version of Everything:

• Download the portable version of Everything.
• Extract Everything.exe to C:\Program Files\Everything
• Run Everything.exe
• If prompted with access denied, Select Install Everything Service and click OK.
• Set your desired installation options:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Click OK.

(because CLI and .zips dont work)

What does "dont work" mean?

(The CLI is using a running Everything.exe to get it's information, so that's probably the reason why thàt didn't work)

BTW: See also: http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7046 for more options to make it more similar to an Installer version. (If you succeed in installing the .zip, that is ...)

Do you have IOBit Advanced SystemCare installed?

Please try C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe instead of C:\Program Files\Everything.exe

i did.

malwarebytes uninstalled it as a virus, and malwarebytes has been gone.
i re-downloaded iobit advanced securitycare (because malwarebytes said on their blog that it wasn't a threat) and I guess it worked from then.
