yes working fine here

great. i'm ready to test from a clean install. i'll post back in a few minutes.

i've turned the fast boot off as my PC boots up much quicker without it enabled.. due to having an SSD drive.

i will test again later this evening as i haven't rebooted between uninstalls and installs. i have a few browser windows open and it would be a big hassle to close everything down and do ...

still no change.

Did you take a look at the log file ...

Every time i've updated to a new version and run one of my batch files that calls the program (resize.exe) I get the same unexpected message prompt about a file already existing (see image below).
