Uninstalling Everest

[frank mason]

I get this error when trying to uninstall everest, and I can't find that text file anywhere, can anyone help?

[mortal yarrow]

why are you using the installer labeled OLD

you should be using olympus

[frank mason]

yeah ik thats why im trying to unistall

did the wrong one :/

[mortal yarrow]

this is not how you uninstall that program

just get olympus

[frank mason]

when launch it nothing happens tho, just boots to a black screen then crashes

[mortal yarrow]

can you open eventvwr.msc, windows logs, application and search for nearby errors relating to olympus

or main.exe

[frank mason]

alr

I did that, and I got some text should I send that over?

[mortal yarrow]

oh uh you might need to reinstall olympus then

delete olympus' program files in %appdata%\Olympus and run the installer again

[frank mason]

so just delete all this stuff?

and should I delete the 'Olympus' folder as well or does that not really matter

alr well I tried it and same thing happened, and all the files are back the exact same way they were

ig I should just use everest then

[mortal yarrow]

so after deleting everything and reinstalling olympus you're getting the same thing?

@silver bay sighh

[frank mason]

yeah :/

[silver bay]

you might want to try the cursed "split" setup? 🤷‍♀️ https://maddie480.ovh/celeste/download-olympus?branch=windows-split&platform=windows

[frank mason]

alr I'm down to give it a try, I've downloaded it all but what do I do next?

Olympus is having a problem and needs to be manually reinstalled.
Here are the steps explaining how to do so:

• Download the latest Olympus stable build. You can find it here.
• Open the zip file you just downloaded. Go to the folder inside it, and open the dist.zip inside.
  • Those are the new Olympus files.
• Press Windows+R. Type in %appdata%\Olympus and press Enter.
  • If you do not have a Windows key, right click the Start logo, and click on "Run".
  • Those are the old Olympus files.
• Delete all the old Olympus files, and replace them with the new Olympus files.
  • If done correctly, all the new files should be in the same place as the old files, except that they're newer.
• Launch Olympus.
  The reinstall should now be complete. You can verify that by clicking on "Options & Updates".

[mortal yarrow]

you'll need to do this

[frank mason]

kk on it

same thing :/

just boots to a black screen and crashes

it did come up with a message saying it will try to reinstall something then went to the black screen and crashed which was new

also the files that were there have been replaced by the same old ones again:

[silver bay]

Instead of running the installer again, run "runme.bat" from the files you extract

[frank mason]

k, im assuming I need to replace these with the ones from the folder I downloaded right?

because after I launched the installer the ones I downloaded got replaced with these for some reason

[silver bay]

Yeah, it pretty much has 2 files (love.exe and olympus.love) instead of 1 (main.exe) and the installer must think the antivirus ate main.exe or something

We're still not sure why splitting the files helped some people, but it did

[frank mason]

k gotcha

[frank mason]

is that the "run.bat" file as I cant see one thats called "runme.bat" unless I am blind lol

[silver bay]

uh yes

[frank mason]

k haha

uhh.. nothing happened :/

unless I have to wait a while then I dont think anything is happening rn

these are the files in the olympus app data folder, do you see anything that might be the issue?

[silver bay]

hm, maybe windows-split is a lie after all

I'm thinking of something else that I might have changed in the cursed-olympus.zip I passed around in Discord: the lua51.dll
I'm forcefully downgrading it because other people were having other cursed issues with it, but eh, might as well try restoring the original love2d version

[frank mason]

K thanks I will give it a try when I get home from college, appreciate it

[silver bay]

the last resort is trying out cursed-olympus.zip verbatim: #1334658849696780318 message

at this point

but do try the DLL first

[frank mason]

K, thanks 🙂

[frank mason]

tysm for the help

[frank mason]

this worked like a charm, appreciate it!

[silver bay]

So the DLL fixed it? good to know for the future, this is way better than passing an old zip around
