Re: The company name cannot be empty
Seems to be some old rare issue? https://forum.mh-nexus.de/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=965
Re: The company name cannot be empty
Is it the portable or the installable version? And what is the version number and is it 64 or 32 bit version of HxD?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: The company name cannot be empty
There are two types, installable or portable. Please tell me which one.

full details (exiftool result)
Re: The company name cannot be empty
I wonder if it's maybe an encoding issue (special code page setting). It's tricky to diagnose, since the French version works fine here.
What Windows version are you using?
Can you try moving HxD.exe into another folder and see if the error still occurs, or tell me what the folder path is (which is hidden in the screenshot)?
Also, can you please compute and post a checksum/hash of your HxD.exe, such as a sha1?

Re: The company name cannot be empty
So it's most likely a Windows 7 SP1 issue.
I am trying to make a VM, but don't have enough space on my system right now. Would you test a special version that has debugging information in it?
Also, do you use a special sandboxing software, given then name "C:\Sandbox\user\Installateur\drive\C\" ?

Re: The company name cannot be empty
Ok, I installed the exact same Windows version you have on a VM, transferred the same HxD.exe you are using onto the Desktop, and started it.
No error message. It creates a Settings folder on the Desktop (because that's where the HxD.exe is) and works well. Same for the installable version: no error message.
So maybe it's due to virtualization issues and redirecting INI files or similar.
What is this sandboxing in the path I mentioned above?

Re: The company name cannot be empty
Sorry for delayed reply.
Yes I'm using Sandboxes to install tools, I'm using Sandboxie.
and when I've checked it isn't leaking on the web, I either move to drive (if it works) or reinstall.
Got the bug in sandbox, but if I click ok program stays open for a few minutes and seemed fine, and just closed.
So I moved it, but in this case, move just didn't start, so I tried to install, and got the bug too.
but I've tried to start it again the sandbox installed version moved in local drive just now and ... it seems to just work ... no more message (I uninstalled the one out of sandbox) maybe the installation did something that patched the issue? no clue ... (I've cleaned registry after uninstall though)
if you wish I can try your special test version on the sandbox? or a portable version?

Re: The company name cannot be empty
Ah, that's unfortunate, now it will be hard to reproduce.
Maybe it's due to registry or file access redirections made by Sandboxie. What version of Sandboxie were you using?
When you encountered the problem the first time, had you installed/used HxD before on this machine or was HxD installed/used the first time?
