Hello,

I have two versions of Truecrpt (32 and 64 bit) that I can use on my machine (64 bit).

But when I click on the setup icons neither will run. I see nothing happeneing, and there are no messages. The programmes are set as exectables, and the permissions are correct.

Any ideas as to how I can get, preferably, the 64 bit package working?

I know that they are no longer supported. But, I believe that they are still good packages. I have some Truecrypt folders that I would like to open.

I did obtain the files from a good source, and their md5's checked.

Did you try opening a terminal and starting it from the command line?

VeraCrypt can open TrueCrypt containers.

Where did you get the executables from?

What are the names of the executables?

Which distro are you running?

+1 for using the more up-to-date VeraCrypt to read TrueCrypt containers.

Edit: Apologies, I see that this has been posted in the Manjaro forum. The other questions are still valid though.

I tried opening the programme for the command line. I saw:

[andrew@Dell-pc Truecrypt]$ ./truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x64
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
./truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x64: line 695: 10449 Done cat <<_END
TrueCrypt $VERSION Setup
====================

TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining...

This package opened and ran in kubuntu

NOTE.

I have both Truecrypt and Veracrypt in the manjaro repo.

Of the two, I expect that veracrypt would be the recommended package - provided it opens truecrypt volumes

Does veracrypt need to be installed, or, can it be run from a folder?

The file on the official website looks like it will run in Windows, Linux, and others. I am surprised
