One day i tried to access my server and when it wouldnt load i thought for a second my ddns service has failed me. Then i check from the windows machine its installed on and its the same deal. When i looked at the install folder only a single folder would show up. No executable no nothing. It was still listed as installed program tho.

Has this ever happened to you?

      Absolutely Not.

      LMFAO I hadn’t heard about this happening. That’s hilarious. Also infuriating for the end-user but hilarious nonetheless.

        I was on a customer site with a laptop and no internet access.
        I tried to use my preferred diff tool meld to compare the current configuration file with the backed up copy and meld just wouldn’t start…
        Turns out an update of windows had decided it was evil and removed it since I’d last used it, silently as far as I am aware.
        This is straight up evil as far as I’m concerned.

        I am now inspired to search for a way to disable that though.

      To this day we have no idea why. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears.
