You need to exit the Eraser that is already running in the system notification area (system tray) before doing those steps in the FAQ.

Exit Eraser from that icon first, then run Eraser again as an administrator.

Yes, that's a known bug. If you really need the bug fixed you can download the Eraser 6.0 nightly builds at http://eraser.heidi.ie/download.php but that itself contains risks (of untested code)
 
thank you for the answer , but i did not understand if even with this bug the eraser delte all the files or not ?

also can you answer if i use the correct version (stable v6) that is good for win7 as i read there is 32 bit and 64 bit and i have no idea if i use the corrdect version

many thanks

Jacob.
 
If I'm not wrong that will cause the task to be cancelled -- so the erase will not have done any cleaning (at all).

Eraser 6 will definitely install the correct version for your computer, the installer will detect your computer and install the correct version.
 
Dear Joel.

thank you for your fast respond , but your answer is not clear , i did not understand if my computer is clean or not , was the erase done , even i got this list of error or not , if the answer that the erase was not doen , can you kindley advice to me what i should do in order the erase will be done.

as always i thnk you for your kind support.

Best regards
Jacob.
 
Dear Joel.

Thank you for fast answer , in the task is was written complete with error , but if you say it was not doen i will follow your instractions , do i need to remove the old eraser version or it is done automaticaly ?

kind regards
Jacob.
 
It's done automatically. If the program crashes on startup, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Eraser 6\Task List.ersx.
 
thank you Joel , yes it crash , but i have no idea how to delete the file you said , can you tell me how to delete it ?
 
Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Eraser 6 and delete the file Task List.ersx?
 
hi Joel , after i down load the file you send , when try to run it say the exe file is not valid Win32 aplication

can you help ?
 
No, don't download the file, delete it! Use the Computer explorer to go to the location and delete the Task List file. See the screenshot.

Hello, I just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I was getting the same error with version 6.0.7 and could not figure out why. Then I noticed a newer version online but for some reason when I would download and install it would tell me there is already a newer version installed which had me dumbfounded. So I completely uninstalled version 6.0.7 and went to install version 6.0.8. After installing I would get an error report and it would crash. So I deleted the file you suggested and now I got it working. So thanks!!! Keep up the great work!!!
