Some cursory googling seems to indicate that the location of AppData\Roaming changes with the Windows version:

Also see:

I won't have access to a Windows machine for at least a month, so I cannot really help much here, sorry.

In any case, you are looking for the right folder (no need for the dot before the name, sorry). I'm not sure that Windows will search system folders, though, even when asked to go through hidden ones. If it isn't there maybe TeXmacs is trying to create it but failing because of some permissions problem?

Best,

Thank you again Miguel,

 

i saw this webpage talking about AppData\Roaming (Windows home) but...

 

1) i have uninstalled TeXmacs (again !)

 

2) i have searched AppData folder (with the windows searcher) with option : "search everywhere including hidden folders, subfolders, etc."

 

3) same with Roaming

 

4) same with Texmacs

 

5) same with .Texmacs (we know from point 4 that point 5 was not useful) 

 

6) i asked to Windows to show me the hidden folders to have a look (i mean to look for Texmacs myself)

 

and nothing.

 

 

There are two details i have to tell (maybe it's not important, i don't know, just in case)

 

first : my crash is not like : " i install, i run, and then nothing ". My crash happened when i was using TeXmacs for a long time (years). I was making a correction in a personal document. Everything was fine. I was exporting to PDF.

 

second : i believe you when you say that TeXmacs doens't write anything in the register, but when i run CCleaner after unistalling TeXmacs, CCleaner finds few things related to TeXmacs in the register. I suppose that this is not in contradiction with your statement, and the few details found by CCleaner are not the usual things written by a program in the register (excuse my poor english).

 

 

Thank you again, (i am still looking for a hidden folder called TeXmacs - this is like a bad joke, but i don't have any idea)

From the website:

You have to remove the texmacs directory located at
AppData\Roaming
(AppData is a hidden directory in your Windows home).

Thank you Miguel for your help.

 

I have tried to find .TeXmacs, but nothing... I am afraid it is a hidden folder... I am too bad in these things...

 

The point is : the error appeared when i was using Texmacs (using it for years)... Is it possible that TeXmacs destoyed something located in the .TeXmacs folder ? I was runnig nothing but Texmacs when the crash.

 

I am trying to find a solution (how to find .texmacs, etc.) with Google...

 

Thank you again,

 

Richard

Sujet : Re: [TeXmacs] texmacs.exe a rencontré un problème...

Texmacs doesn't use the registry to store user preferences or cache information. Try deleting (better renaming) your .TeXmacs folder,  then starting texmacs. This will trigger the building of the font cache among other things, so texmacs will take a few seconds to start.

Sorry, I don't know where that folder is located in windows out of the top of my head.

Hello,

 

i use Texmacs (windows version 1.99) with my PC (windows xp) for several years and today i have a big problem.

 

Impossible to open texmacs. There is a "error message from Window".

 

I have uninstalled Texmacs and installed it again, many times, but nothing to do.

 

I have cleaned my register with CCleaner... Nothing.

 

What can i do ?

 

The problem first appeared when i was typing a math document with Texmacs.

 

Thank you for reading,

 

Richard Gomez

 

-[Version en français]--------------------------

 

Bonjour,

 

 

J'utilise Texmacs depuis quelques années mais depuis quelques mois, je n'arrive plus à le lancer.

 

(version Windows 1.99 sur un PC windows xp)

 

Quand j'essaie, une toute petite fenêtre s'ouvre (titre = "T...") et tout de suite après, la funeste fenêtre grise :

---------------------------------------

titre : texmacs.exe  

texmacs.exe a rencontré un problème et doit fermer. Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour le désagrément encouru.
(...)
Veuillez signaler ce problème à Microsoft.
(...)

-----------------------------------------

 

J'ai désinstallé Texmacs. J'ai lancé CCleaner pour éliminer quelques restes du registre. J'ai réinstallé Texmacs, mais rien à faire...

 

Je suis bloqué depuis le 6 avril...

 

Que puis-je faire ?

 

Merci de votre attention,

 

Richard Gomez
