Happening to me as well. The text is "get version failed"

By "hanging" I mean that LaunchBarCommander.exe is keeping one CPU core pinned at maximum. I've let it go for about 1 hour without any change.

There are some network drives. None of them are new as my setup is pretty stable.

Let me know if you want me to try the debug version.

After watching some more of the FARR videos (thanks mouser), I have come up with a partial solution to finding aliases without having to type +alias at the end of a search. I turned off the Required Alias Prefix and defined the following alias:

1000>>>alias search>->dosearch $$1 +alias>+>^a (.*)$

This alias allows me to see all the aliases starting with "b" by typing "a b", which is one character longer than typing "`b" when I has the Required Alias Prefix set. It is not perfect as it only lists fixed aliases and doesn't list regular expression aliases. It also inserts "+alias" into regular expression aliases like fc, which could be coded to ignore "+alias" but typically haven't been made that fancy.

To summarize: I have an acceptable workaround. It would be nice if the behavior of FARR with the Required Alias Prefix was smarter as it really isn't very usable right now. This problem won't stop me from using FARR as I think it is a very flexible and powerful product.
