Tranmontane,
My installation has a bar across the top of the screen with a number of choices. One of the choices is "Register."

harvey macken, Thanks -- mine doesn't, so this is useful information! It's a pity they don't make it CLEAR whether you are registered or not -- it would save a lot of (totally wasted) time!

tranmontane, I just wondered if my AVG A-V programme was causing this problem, so I just took it off....

But it's too late now, anyway, for THIS programme....

Hello Helen!

I see. But may i say that you need a better e-mail management for this? One thing is not wanting the newsletter, another one being unable to get the giveaway (Since i have no social media the e-mail link is the only way).

And what about i change my mind and i want to subscribe again?

Cheers!

Jim,

Google, e.g.

stackoverflow[.]com/questions/17842981/the-procedure-entry-point-gettickcount64-could-not-be-located-in-the-dynamic-l

From a Very Quick look seems like it might be an XP problem, as in the app isn't compatible with XP, and yes, I know the AOMEI page says it's XP compatible, but there's so few people running XP, if it is incompatible, maybe they either don't get enough complaints to fell they need to update their page, or they don't want to bother.

Jim, maybe You have Windows XP. In the description, also on their site, they state that it works with XP, instead gettickcount64 requires at least Windows Vista.

TK, Thanks so much. That is some truly helpful information packed in your post. Solved todays dilemma, and also the best general PC tip I've found in many years!

TK, How does one run the install script once you have extracted everything in the exe to its own directory? There is an install_script.iss .

TK, thank You very much for these hints!

Regards

OldGuy, What i got out of this is that you DON'T run an install, you just drag out the "app" folder, put it where you want it, and run it like a portable app. By now it may be too late to register it to make it pro, but using the GAOTD license code worked for me last night.

Dan Cou, I'd like to know, too. Why are they clicking "no" to this?

Dattatraya Vaidya, I'd like to know, too. Why are they clicking "no" to this?

Dattatraya Vaidya,

My guess is that either A) the part about the license expiring is inaccurate, or B) it reverts to the standard [free] version, which still does what most people use partitioning apps for.

Don Armour, It's first step should be to either remove or upgrade your current version. Did it run the installation process for you?

Tester, I am suspicious of programs that require me to disable my AV before I can install them, why would they need to do that if they are clean?

I added setup.exe as an exception in Avast, restarted and tried again, same result.

I guess I'll stick with v 8.2 for the time being.

Rick_S, No, it just took me to the activation page where all I could do was spread the word via social media or offer comment on how to improve the program.

It neither uninstalled nor installed anything.

Don Armour,

"Tester, I am suspicious of programs that require me to disable my AV before I can install them, why would they need to do that if they are clean?"

And I'm suspicious of security software that has problems with false positives. :) It's only some, not all brands of AV software that falsely flags the GOTD setup files [wrapper], so you have to decide if Avast is better in this case, catching something other top rated AV software misses, or if other brands are better because the Avast devs can't always figure out what's safe & what's not.

Don Armour, Frequently, GAOTD has packages that Avast and a few other Anti-Virus programs don't like. I also use Avast and all you have to do is right click on the icon in your task bar, select shields control and select "disable for 10 minutes". I do this all the time. The programs here on GAOTD are safe to install without your AV active.

Dean Berglund, Thanks for that, sadly, the installation period has now expired, so I can't successfully run the setup program despite the fact that the AEOMI website says that it is activated.

Nevertheless, I shall remember that advice for the next time I hit this problem.

Again, thanks.

Kevin Bui,

"... it is always updating along with Windows 10. This is a very important function because of using older version on newest Windows could cause serious errors and lose data."

Software updates are cool, But, they're not any sort of guarantee. If Microsoft updates something in win10 that prevents Partition Assistant from working properly, which hasn't happened AFAIK with much earlier versions of Partition Assistant, then having the latest version of Partition Assistant *may* help, but only if that's what the update fixed, and if the update actually fixed the problem. There's also the chance that something breaks, or just doesn't work right one time out of a hundred [or thousands].

If you're after safety, Before you do anything with partitions, perform a disk/partition image backup that you know you can restore.
