Problem getting command line interface to work

Post by Indy »

I'm using Everything version 1.4.1. Not running as Administrator but using the service. I've downloaded the command line interface utility but can't get it to work.

Every attempt to run a query results in the following error message:

Error 7: Unable to send IPC message.

Any ideas to what the problem could be?

Thank you,

Please make sure Everything is running in the background
Everything -> Tools -> Options -> UI -> Run in background.



Did you install the Lite version?
-The Lite version does not support the command line interface.
-Please install the non-Lite version over the top of your existing installation.

Thank you - this was the issue. I didn't realize there was a lite version and/or I've forgotten why I would have installed it - it's been a while.

Everything is working now.

Thanks again.
