Can't reinstall PS 2012 on Windows 8!

Post by Srinath »

Hello,

I'm trying to reinstall PS 2012 since it is not working properly. I completely uninstalled all of PS 2012 components from "Programs" under Windows 8 control panel and removed "PowerShell Studio 2012" folder from AppData. Rebooted the computer. And then tried to install v3.1.14. It installed, but when I open the program it didn't show any of the sidebars and shows incorrect recent files.

@Support,
Can you help on proper uninstallation and reinstallation of the program? Thanks!

Can you describe what you mean by corrupted?

If you want to restore the Panels to their original state use the Reset to Default State button in the Options->Panel tab.

Please close PowerShell Studio and go to the following folder and delete the two xml files:

C:UsersAppDataRoamingSAPIENPowerShell Studio 2012

Also Disable Auto Layout before restarting the app.

If the problem persists, locate the same xml files in the install folder of the application temporarily removing them:

CommandBarsState.xml
DockingState.xml
