Installing EasyPal DSSTV Software on a fresh Windows 10

Cool Beans. Enjoy.

 

In my case, EasyPal wouldn't even install. If EasyPal installed completely for you, it's likely your Junction links are ok. However in my case, I had to delete the junction link in order to re-write the correct link. So in my case, I went to my C:|Users\n8mdp directory. Then I typed dir /a which displayed everything in the directory including the junction links. I also used a tool called NTFSLinkView. Using NTFSLinkView, I saw the following:

Name: Application Data

Full Path: C:\Users\n8mdp\Application Data

Type: Junction

Target Path: C:\Users\ars_n\AppData\Roaming

The problem was that the Users n8mdp and ars_n didn't match messing up the install. So in teh c:\Users\n8mdp directory, I typed the following to remove the link:

rmdir "C:\Users\n8mdp\Application Data"

This does not erase any files but simply deletes the Junction link. To re-create the link, I typed:

mklink "C:\Users\n8mdp\Application Data" "C:\Users\n8mdp\AppData\Roaming"

This created the new link. I changed this for the other junction links that had the "ars_n" as the User. Once done, I installed EasyPal and everthing worked.

Did you try to install EasyPal in one of the Windows Compatibility Modes, like Windows 7? What do you see when you try to run the software?

 

I get the error "Exception EOleSystemError in module EasyPal.exe at 001F17D1 Class not Registered. Also when I try Compatibility Mode.

 

That sounds like a Permissions Error. Install as Administrator. Tell Win 10 it is OK, If you got the install from a trusted source.

You need to install giving permission for the software to Write to the registry.

That looks like a Pipe.
