Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory
Hi,
i'm trying to install CpuIdle after a crash. But i receive "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory". The drive is ok, and temp folder exists. I have 3 Gb free. I tried several setup files from many locations, the one i kept before the crash and the one posted from the developer, but they all give the same error message. Other installations are successfull... I don't know what to do... before the crash cpuidle worked well. Any idea ? Thank you. |

Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory
A "plug-ins directory" does not exist natively in Windows. Only reference I
find to anything similar refers to Netscape, which I doubt is involved. The developer's error message (and this *is* an error message from the app, not from Windows) suggests either that the app creates its own "plug-ins directory", which for this app I think is unlikely, or, since it is written in Borland Delphi, the Enterprise Core Objects (ECO) framework that Delphi uses, which is probably where the "plug-ins directory" exists, needs to be repaired. I can only suggest two things: 1. That you contact the developer for suggestions. 2. That you try uninstalling the app and, if possible, also track down the directories created by the install and manually remove them, and/or see if the Enterprise Core Objects (ECO) framework that must have been installed as part of the original installation can also be removed, allowing a reinstall. -- Gary S.
