Can you try the latest 2979

Are you Administrator while doing this and what is in the event log? The above gives very little to go on.

Install the new version and let us know how that goes.

The missing partition means something fundamental has gone wrong with the drive, possibly the drive was failing already and running eraser just tripped it over the edge.

it is , the runtime is included to try fix issues in older installs. We will release a seperate version without the runtime later.

Can you try the lastest version and report back

can you try the latest version and let me know if the issue is still there.

This is strange, you are administrator and yet you get this error. Is the PC your personal one or a company PC? Try running the command prompt as administrator and then in the eraser directory run regsvr32 /c eraser.shell.dll the case is not important. In the meantime I'll try to find an XP...

have you tried this on the latest version? .2979? and run the install as administrator?

The product is stable, it does what is required. What do you feel it is missing?

Can you try this release: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eraser/files/Eraser%206/6.2/Eraser%206.2.0.2979.exe/download

can you try going to the eraser install directory and running regsvr32 /c eraser.shell.dll

This might be an issue with .NET runtimes - try running windows update. Did the eraser process start and crash or just not start up at all?

Have you installed eraser as administrator?

Eraser is still supported, what issues are you having?

can you try this version and let us know if there is any change

This is a redundant File system - redundant as in it can repair itself which is not good news for eraser type applications. Free space erase should in theory still work as it fills up the disk to the max and then zerofills the files. We will do some experiments when time permits.

I suggest install wireshark or fiddler and trace this. Eraser only ever checks the internet for updates or crash submisson reports. Also check that the eraser.exe is digitally signed - right click and check certificates

Under option 3 if you run eraser as administrator what happens? What else is installed? any AV software?

a one pass erase is sufficient with modern hard drives, if it is a SSD then you also need to do a 1 pass freespace erase after.
