It ended up with the message that I already had a newer version installed.
Then, when it decompresses it says it produces a file called expresscache.msi.
This file can be found somewhere around %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp{E1E38DF6-5231-4B7C-B798-0708709777BC}. In any case it must be a new directory in this Temp-directory.
If you then start this msi with
cd %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp{E1E38DF6-5231-4B7C-B798-0708709777BC}
msiexec /i expresscache.msi /Lv* output.txt
You can watch in the log in output.txt whatever remnant is obstructing the install. I succesfully forcefully removed the found GUID with a trial of Revo uninstaller pro 3.1.4.
Now let’s see whether this thing will let itself configure as I already tried the primocache trial on the 32 GB SSD, so it has to be manually reconfigured…
Interesting what you have found here but I need the 32 bit version of the driver. This one is 64 bit.
Maybe SanDisk might even get their act together and sort it out quickly. If they don’t they will loose a lot of customers for this product.
They basically don’t seem to care about customers though.
Luckily the Sandisk 1.3.2 version I already had running on Windows 7 is now progressing further in the install and asks me to restart…
Your very lucky as you are coming from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have the failed situation of going from Windows 8.1.1 to Windows 10 Pro and I can’t either un-install or re-install currently and SanDisk support seems to be usseless.
The uninstall error you are seeing is not related to Windows 10. Expresscache has two elements.
The Expresscache driver
The Expresscache GUI
Both of these elements show in the control panel. The driver shows as Expresscache and the GUI shows as Expresscache app. If you uninstall Expresscache (the driver) first then try to uninstall Expresscache App (the GUI) uninstalling Expresscache app will fail. This is because the GUI is trying to uninstall the driver and it is no longer there.
If you are runing into this issue you must manually uninstall the GUI. Going forward you will need to uninstall expresscache app and it will remove the driver as well.
That said Expresscache still is not compatible with Win 10 at this time. From what I understand they are working on it but I have not seen any additional info on any update or release for this software.
See the link below for manual uninstall instrucitons.
I recently came across this thread which I will be following with great interest. I have an 18 mo HP Desktop equipped with a ScanDisk Ready Cache 16 Gb drive. Fortunately I have not yet updated from 8.1 to W-10 because I came across this issue just moments before I was ready to download/install W-10. I hope there is a solution for this soon because this cache drive does wonders with my machine and I wouldn’t move to W-10 without it.
Fast formatted the drive to NTFS with driveletter, claimed it completely for readyboost from the properties of the driveletter.
It seems to ■■■■ up some data, though it’s only passed the 500 megabytes yet after a few reboots, (visible with perfmon) so it’s not very quick.
The purple line of ‘read from cache’ seems to jump up for starting the apps I often start (all the browsers and Word), however when I restart the performance seems to drop again, so I’m not sure whether all speed comes from the Sandisk SSD yet.
At reboot I still have to await some starting processes till it responds to the mouse, hope the crisp response returns…
It’s not Readyboost that is supposed to speed up booting, but Readyboot. (The ‘s’ missing)
For securityreasons Microsoft has crippled Readyboost with a compression/encryption algorithm which forces clearance at reboot, which is not possible to turn off for a normal person, even with some registry experience or access to a policy editor on a professional-machine. Probably only someone who learns how to remotely install windows in an enterprise will obtain the knowledge to turn off the encryption which is rumoured to cause cache-clearance.
I switched back to the PrimoCache-trial. Still 58 days of the trial left to await a solution from Sandisk…
I hope they are going to release a driver in the next few days or I’m going to sue them. Windows 10 is being tested since January and they still don’t have a driver. My clients are complaining.
They need to provide updates and support for their products. It’s URGENT.
eBoostr should also work for cache retention after a reboot, but the trial is more restrictive.
Current 1.3.2 seems to run fine on a W10 x64 desktop, but it was a clean OS install (after the upgrade). I haven’t experienced any sudden cache loss after reboot, except for the usual stuff that should cause it by design (large updates, defrag, etc).
I runned the installer again, and this time with log. Apart from that I executed both the inf-files in
C:\Program Files\Condusiv Technologies\ExpressCache\excfs and
