I wanted to update the software to the latest version on my windows 11 machine. The .exe file tells me that I have to use the .msi installer when I want to update. I downloaded VeraCrypt_Setup_x64_1.26.29.msi and tried to run it but got the message This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. If there is no quick fix, how would I proceed with the installation .exe after extracting? Cheers, Merlin

Thank you so much, Adrian! That did the trick :-) Cheers, Merlin

I have a script that mounts a veracrypt-encrypted SD Card with the command veracrypt /q /v \device\harddisk1\partition0 /l w: /a /p 12345678 and then writes a backup of another - already open - veracrypt volume - and that works fine.

Then I exited ditto and started "DB Browser for SQLite.exe" (google it) and opened...

Great - thanks!

Hi - I have been running ditto for a long time and now it's time to replace my computer and I don't want to lose all the groups of clips that make my life so much easier. I have been running 3.19 on the old computer and I liked the fact that all the groups I have created are at the end of my clips. The groups don't seem to be there anymore in the latest version of ditto - 3.22. Is there a setting that I am missing, or is this gone and I have to click on the groups below the main window to view my...

You are totally correct - it was nautilus. Here is what I found to handle the situation: https://askubuntu.com/questions/191527/disable-auto-opening-nautilus-window-after-auto-mount

I just started using VC on Ubuntu and want to use it completely from the command line. But even with -t an file window opens with the newly mounted volume. Is there a way to prevent this window from opening and VC just quietly opening my container? Thanks - Merlin
