Command Prompt won't load after install Ansicon v1.88

[jellius]

After Installing Ruby and Ruby mine, Installed Ansicon 1.88 and my command windows opens then closes immediately. I am running windows 10 operating system.

Use the Run dialog to run cmd /d, then you can uninstall. Should it still not work, have a look at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Process\AutoRun. Does ansicon -p work on the command line?

[jellius]

When I run ansicon -p it closes the command prompt window

[jellius]

this is the value I have at the path you listed above "(if %ANSICON_VER%==^%ANSICON_VER^% "C:\ANSICON\x64\ansicon" -p)"

[adoxa]

That value is fine, so there's something going wrong with -p. Does just ansicon work? That should start a new instance of cmd, with sequences. What's your version of 10?

Okay, that's a bit more than I was expecting. I was really only after the build version, although Enterprise might have something to do with it. Just tried ansicon -p in Home 10.0.17134.648 and that worked fine. Can you check just ansicon? That will let me know if it's the hooking going wrong, or the injection that -p does.

BTW, you shouldn't need ANSICON for Ruby, as that either uses the Windows 10 native sequences or its own parser.

[jellius]

LOL sorry for the over share. I downloaded Ansicon 1.88. when I try to run to ansicon -p at the command prompt the window closes. I can't bring the command prompt up unless i run it with cmd /d and then when I try to run ansicon after that it closes my command prompt window.

I don't see how running ansicon closes Command Prompt. Can you have a look at Event Viewer for Application Errors regarding ansicon and cmd? Just to be thorough, could you also try ansicon -l2 %windir%\syswow64\cmd to see what happens with the 32-bit version? If it doesn't work, could you post the log at %temp%\ansicon.log; if it does work, try ansicon -l2 and post that log.

Delete AutoRun from the registry to get your normal Command Prompt back (and do it before attempting the above).

[adoxa]

Just a friendly reminder (a new release is imminent, so it'd be nice to fix this, too).

@jellius works now or works now not ? Did you it tested now ?

ANSI escape sequences are now officially supported by Windows 10.
Update to the latest version.
