ccMatrix Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I updated to version 1.7.6 and the option right-click->open download folder does not do anything anymore. No explorer window is opened.I am running Windows Vista Business 64bit. Additionally, if you are already looking into it, could you modify the code, so that it will open the explorer in 64bit mode on 64bit windows version? Some context-menu applications such as my unzip application are only listed in the 64bit explorer so this would be very helpful.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 How many completed pieces (shown under General NUMBER X SIZE (have NUMBER) ) do you have for the torrent? How long after starting the torrent are you trying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Can you verify it still happens with 1.8 from the Announcements forum. You can run a clean install with http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_share_my_torrents_between_user_profiles.3F ... just add one or two for verification, and try to open it.If the problem persists, postfix your comment and experience. It is better monitored than the general forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccMatrix Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks, I tried the 1.8 beta and it didn't work at first. I ran trough all processes and there was a 32bit process Generic.exe which seems to have blocked the explorer window from opening. I don't know where this generic.exe resides. Couldn't find it on my hard drive, maybe it's just something windows internal from the shell command.The issue with the explorer opening as 32bit instead of 64bit still exists. Maybe you guys could look into this. That would be great!Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 It uses a standard API to open explorer, so if Vista is forcing open 32-bit explorer, then that's just because it's stupid.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=273745#p273745 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccMatrix Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 that is odd. I tried a simpleShellExecuteA(0, "open", "explorer.exe", "", "", SW_SHOW);in a 32bit C++ app and it opened in the default 64bit explorer process. This is also why I thought I mention it. I used it in a few C++ DLLs and Apps before and didn't have that effect yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Did you try the uncompressed 1.7.6?http://utorrent.com/utorrent-1.7.6.uncompressed.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccMatrix Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I didn't know there was one. This works great! Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Alus do you have ideas as to why whether the compressed EXE would matter at all? All I forsee is stupid security software not liking packed EXEs and as such won't run it period. Why some functions work on uncompressed but not on compressed simply baffles me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccMatrix Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Is this uncompressed file only available for this version or will there be an uncompressed version for every release? Would be nice if you could make it available in future releases as well. There are uncompressed files available for the 1.8 alphas but I couldn't find a link for the uncompressed version of the current release on the website.

jewelisheaven Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 uT releases in compressed form. It helps cut down on the hacked clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well, since it's packed in UPX, you can always manually unpack it by getting UPX yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
