I ended up booting in Safe mode and deïnstall and install from there.
It works now, but I don't think it's the most recommendable route.

Point is, I am unable to launch or uninstall one of the former versions (1.8 something). As a result unable to install the most recent version. I know the staff is quite responsive. The iOS version has been launched, so I can imagine they are very busy squashing iOS bugs. And some staff members may ...

I have to clarify that when trying to start Scrivener the application is not listed in the Apps list of Task Manager but in the background processes list of Task Manager.

Is there someone from Literature and Latte who could try to help me?

I have tried it, but no luck.

What should I try next?
What kind of info do I need to share?

I only have windows 10 antivrus firewall, but Ibwill give it a try.

Maybe a UWP version of the IOS version in a bright but distant future?

I am unable to launch Scrivener. The task manager shows Scrivener but I don't see it. And I am unable to uninstall Scrivener as well. Scrivener.exe and uninstall.exe are both present in the install folder. I have tried both running as administrator but that doesn't work either. And I am unable to la...

I don't think it was the first choice for a gentleman however.

It is possible to recover data from a crashed HDD. I don't know how important the data is for you, but it's an option.
There are software tools, but they can damage the drive even more.
And there also exist specialised companies that are able to recover the data, but they aren't cheap.

DTP seems like the tool I'm looking for, unfortunately there is no real Windows equivalent. I think it's going to far to make the switch to mac for only one application.

It's not an annual subscription, the website shows you can get a free upgrade (new version) in the first year after purchase and a discount for an upgrade (40 %) in the second year after purchase. That's a very nice offer in my opinion. I'm a happy user of both Scrivener and WritingOutliner.

Just install Ghostscript. Next in preferences, under the section "external tools", you have to tell scribus where gs is installed. (in the terminal you get the path through the command `which gs`)
I hope this helps, I am not a mac user but found this in a forum.

It isn't necessary to install GS for Scribus, I found it in the Apple forums here.
