Windows 10: System Mechanic version 18.7.0.64 deleted files after update

On April 11, 2019, my System Mechanic updated itself to version 18.7.0.64, and it was the fastest upgrade to date. As per usual, it deleted the older version, and then reinstalled the newer version. However, in the process of doing so, it apparently never reinstalled the Toolkit.exe file, so that as of April 14, 2019, I keep getting the error message: "System File is missing: C:\Program Files (x86)\Phoenix360\System Mechanic\Toolkit.exe".


I noticed that a similar question was posted by David Hodge, and shows as being resolved in January, 2019, but no satisfactory details were actually provided. Instead, it was just a back and forth exchange between two coders, that were announcing their expertise dating back to the 1960's. I can do without arguing, and just would appreciate some useful assistance.


I have already attempted to contact iolo's technical support team, but keep getting bounced around between their 2CO/Avangate Support Team and iolo's useless support webpage, that only allows the creation of a new user account. I have a back up disc for an older version of System Mechanic, but I am afraid to install it, since my newer version is paid up to March 10, 2020, and I don't want to mess it up somehow.


My PC is an Asus desktop; AMD A8-6500 APU (64 bit); Windows 10 Home; version 1803 (OS build 17134.556). Does anybody have any helpful advice?

Problem installing System Mechanic 18

I have 3 PC's, with different ASUS motherboards, all running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit; I have been trying to install System Mechanic 18, but while it will load with no problems on one PC, on the other two I get "There was an error retrieving the installation
file: Error Code [300]", even though each time I run the same exe file from the same USB stick.

 

0 byte folder cannot be deleted Problem

I have a 0 byte folder and I can't delete it. I'm using win 7 64 bit.
please help *Cry :cry:

It says access denied when trying, please login as admin blah blah msgs....

I've searched the net for hours, Trying unlocker, fileassassin, and all other 'file deleter' programs out there. tried on safe mode, tried the cmd commands, even in cmd it says access denied, tried the closing explorer.exe and doing the command. I tried changing permissions and atrributes and it says you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings. I logged in as the Administrator and still no hope.

the folder originally contained all my movies but since then i moved(using the move command) all of them someplace else(on another hdd) and I thought it was gone but the folder is still there, 0 bytes. It was shared when i deleted it and still appeared on the shared folders list but inaccessible coz it was already deleted so i 'unshared' the folder from the shared folders list. and so the problem began. the folder is still there and it is undeletable

One surefire way to do it without deleting my files is copying all other files to another HDD and reformat it and copy it back again but my hdd is currently contains 1 tb out of 1.36 and i dont have any hdds with that free space to use.

ALSO I CAN'T OPEN THE FOLDER it says

Location is not available

'directory' is not accessible.
Access is Denied.

i think its more of a windows glitch than a virus problem

help??? *Frown
