It does appear that originally my Emeditor was originally installed to “all users” (which I actually prefer).
I tried to install the latest version with:
msiexec /i “D:\01 downloads\emed64_24.2.0.msi” MSIINSTALLPERUSER=””

But I’m getting the same error message of “the old version was installed for all users”, Is there something else I should be adding to the command line?
I would also like to know this as when I set up my new computer, I want to install for all users.

I’m pretty sure I originally installed to all users, but later updates only allowed me to install ‘per user’. So when the updates were installed they were installed to my ‘appdata’ folder, rather than the program files folder.
Presumably (I can’t remember), I deleted the files in the ‘program files’ folder.

Also, regarding saving my searches, I would like to save as many as possible (maybe, no limit).

Thanks.

That’s easy, I’ll give it a try.

Also, I prefer, in general, to run programmes as portable and to keep everything in one folder. But with EmEditor. I prefer to install as you mentioned that performance is better when installed.
Is it at all possible, to keep all files and folders, (such as the appdata folder) in one folder when EmEditor is installed?
I realise there will still be reg entries, but these are easy to back up with the export function.

And, I do a lot of search, and search and replace. Would it be possible to increase the amount of searches that are stored to more than 64?
Where are the search details kept, as I would like to back these up separately.

Thanks again.

Thanks,

Whenever possible, I prefer to keep everything in one folder. currently Emeditor is located in my C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\EmEditor

Is it at all possible to arrange it so that the appdata folder is in the same directory as the programme?

Pls ignore last comment..it was meant for my other post.

Unfortunately there is only a 64 entries limit..I want quite a lot more than that. I also need a way to back up all the entries to a text file.

Thanks, that works…but what I’m after is something that will give me the choice of the characters to strip out as well as the non printable characters similar to the bintext programme.
In the meantime do you know of the regex expression that will strip out the non printable characters and just leave me with A-Z and 0-9 (alpha numeric characters)?
