I have downloaded the latest (and some older versions) of the Windows binary (downloads.sourceforge.net/md5deep/md5deep-3.2.zip)

I have followed the instructions and am on windows XP

Went to cmd, typed location hit Enter, it just hangs with flashing prompt. (Also tried dragging file into window to get the location - same result)

C:\>"C:\md5deep\md5deep.exe"

Get this if I control+c...

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.

  It's a command line utility; there is no GUI.
  md5deep was waiting for input. The md5 that was returned is the md5 of nothing: no input.
  
  C:\Windows>md5deep c:\windows\win.ini
  db3a6977bf1139fa18de14c52778a930 c:\windows\win.ini
  
  C:\Windows>type c:\windows\win.ini | md5deep
  db3a6977bf1139fa18de14c52778a930
  
  md5deep -h for help and read the readme

Dear all,

md5deep is really a great tool and exactly what I was looking for except that I have a problem with special characters in directory names..

It is supposed to support Unicode and should be working or am I missing something:

eg: md5deep -rel C:\temp\données

will not work.. because of this character ascii code 130 it is not even unicode indeed ???

Any idea of what I can do ? I am really stuck with this.

help appreciated !

many thanks

Hi nobody,

You're not missing anything. The Unicode support in md5deep only produces question marks for the filenames in the output. There is a feature request for full Unicode support already in place for the next version, https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3171837&group_id=67079&atid=516781.

Hum ok, Thank you Jessekornblum,

In my case It is even outputing nothing and is not able to process input directory path… it should be because of unicode then !

Many thanks for your answer.
