AllSync & AllDup

On a related note, I am fully aware of your policy of not making earlier versions of AllDup available, to avoid having to discuss them. And I can fully sympathize with it. However, in this case, it needs to be said, that it was definitely very unhelpful for me in trying to focus in on the version of...

Basically, I replace all duplicate files larger than 500KB with hardlinks on offline Windows installations, with a few manual exceptions (e.g. Avast anti-virus files). This usually frees up 4-5GB of drive space on a previously untreated Windows 7 partition. Trying to do this with AllDup 4.4.34 was b...

Unfortunately, I get a crash again, at the very same spot, right after starting the search for dups, but this time the error message is different: ============================================...

AllDup is a great piece of software, thank you for creating and maintaining it! My only issue is that I have been unable to make it work under WindowsPE environment. This is very sad, it is really best/safest using such a utility *offline*, running it under a separate OS, off a USB stick. Doubtless,...
