I can't duplicate anything like this under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit or Windows 8
Pro 64-bit. I am running W-E 8.2 and App Get 1.2.1.

 

 

Best regards from Ohio,

Subject: AppGet hanging

 

This issue, has been going on for a little while. Yet, I thought it was due
to an older installation of WE, with several upgrades performed, and thereby
something had got messed up. 

 

Now, a little more than a week ago, I finally received the CD for installing
WE8.2. Hence, I decided to go from the very scratch. I uninstalled all my
old WE version, even used the Emergency remover, and gave the system a full
cleanup, and vacuumed the registry just to make sure as clean an environment
as possible. Then installed a fresh WE8.2, directly off the CD.

 

Everything went OK, and I then let the system perform an upgrade to any of
the apps installed. Then I wanted to install some extra apps, that I find
useful. 

 

I use the AppGet feature, and find my app of interest. Then press Enter, and
get the installation screen. Here, I hit the Install button, and if
necessary confirm my accept of the license agreement. Then, WE claims that
the app has been installed, and I sure can see the effect of the app in
function. Yet, the installation screen for the app, keeps open. Presseing
Escape, to close it, only result in the installation screen opening a second
copy of itself. And When Alt-Tabbing, I can reach the AppGet dialog. Here, I
can find the Close button, but pressing space or Enter on that button,
performs absolutely nothing. The only way to close down the whole app
installation set of dialogs, is to shut down WE, and restart it. 

 

Same behavior displays on both my XP machine, and the Windows8 machine I am
trying to learn to use. What could possibly be going on? Is this due to a
bug in the AppGet app? If so, it has been there for a little while,
approximately as long as the app has been encrypted. My WE is set to accept
and run any apps, so I thought there would be no security issue blocking
things, and they surely get installed and activated. Only the AppGet and
installation dialogs won't let themselves close.

 

In the same token, GW, could there please have been a way in the AppGet, to
mark several apps for simultaneous installation. When a user knows exactly
which apps he wants to install, I would have liked to check all the apps of
interest, and then hit the install button, and all the downloading and
installation would get started.
