Enigmail / Bugs / #974 Enigmail does not work with Windows-x64 version of TB 67.0b1

Patrick Brunschwig - 2019-04-03

I can't confirm this - it's working OK for me.

Did you restart Thunderbird after updating Enigmail? If you had an older version of Enigmail before upgrading that didn't work in TB 67 anymore, it's quite likely that after upgrading some things would still fail because Enigmail would then fail to unload itself during the upgrade.

I have Windows 10 64-bit
TB 66.0b3 and a nightly build of enigmail was working ok. After updating TB today to version 67.0b1, enigmail stopped working (disappeared from menu). I uninstalled enigmail, terminated TB, downloaded the new nightly enigmail, started TB, installed enigmail and restarted TB again.

Status:

enigmail dows not show up in the menu nor can it be called for mail decription.

if Extras/Add-on Einstellungen/Enigmail is opened, all the settings appear to be empty. File chooser in the general settings menu cannot be opened.

That's strange, as Enigmail is working fine for me (and others I know of). Could it be that the Enigmail version you downloaded came from the browser cache? The best way to install nightly builds of Enigmail is to open the Thunnderbird Add-Ons page, and drag & drop the download link from the browser to the Thunderbird page.

If that doesn't help, then please provide me with some error message from the Thunderbird Error Console.

uninstall, restart TB, install by drag&drop, restart TB. The problem persists.

I'm sorry, but you definitely don't have the latest nightly build of Enigmail. That was one of the last fixes I implemented for TB 67, about a month ago.

Sorry, but something must be wrong.
I definitely installed from the page shown in the screenshot. Both by downloading the extension first or by drag&drop

The problem seems to be with TB 64-bit. works ok in TB 32-bit.
Note:
before, it was also ok with TB 64-bit.

That's very strange. I'll check the 64-bit Windows version.

Now, it gets really, really strange . Is there anyself-healing in it?
I just re-installed TB 64-bit - and enigmail works !!

I can only imagine that the installation did not complete before you switched to 32bit...

Just tried to reproduce on anotherPC.

TB 66.0b3 (64-bit) updated automatically to 67.0b1 + restart -> provider for Google calendar deactivated

installed new google calendar provider and enigmail nightly by drag&drop

restart TB --> everything ok

I am sorry for the irritations. Somethuing must have been wrong with my primary PC.

I just had a similar case, and I think I found the reason for the strange behavior. Thunderbird contains a startup cache, and it looks like that cache is not deleted properly when installing a new version of an existing extension.

If ever you come across this problem again, the cache is located in C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\<profile ID>\startupCache.
Simply delete all files in that directory between stopping and restarting Thunderbird.
