Here are installation troubleshooting tips

1: The app you're trying to install isn't a "Microsoft-verified app"

Windows may show this warning because PowerPointPipe is downloaded from our website rather than the Microsoft Store. This is normal for most desktop software, despite it being digitally signed etc. It is basically Microsoft trying to strangle the software market and force all installs via the Microsoft Store.

To install:

  1. Click Install anyway in the dialog, or
  2. Click Change app recommendation settings

If the "Install anyway" option is not shown, you need to change your Windows settings:

  1. Open Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings
  2. Under Choose where to get apps, select Anywhere
  3. Run the installer again

On older Windows 10 versions: Settings > Apps > Apps & features, then change the dropdown at the top.

Alternatively, install the Microsoft Store version which does not require this setting, but also excluded all the things you expect from desktop software like context menus in Windows explorer etc

2: Windows SmartScreen Warning

You may see "Windows protected your PC":

Windows SmartScreen warning

If this appears:

  1. Click More info
  2. Click Run anyway

3: Antivirus False Positive

PowerPointPipe is digitally signed by DataMystic. If your antivirus warns about the file, it may be a false positive on new releases. You can safely allow or allow-list the installer.

4: Corporate IT Restrictions

If your organisation blocks installations, use the Microsoft Store version instead (no admin rights needed):

Get PowerPointPipe from Microsoft Store

Getting Started

After installing (see the guide), you'll want to get stuck into PowerPointPipe.

  1. On the Actions tab, add a row for each pair of Find What/Replace With values
  2. For each row, check the Search Location where you expect the text to be found. Remember to check Inside Hyperlink Addresses if you are changing hyperlinks
  3. On the Files to Process tab, set the Start Folder to the location of your documents. If you are using PowerPoint 2007, set the File Type to *.ppt*. Remember to check Include Subfolders if you want subfolders searched as well. You can also drag and drop your files from Windows Explorer into PowerPointPipe
  4. On the Options tab, check the Backup Mode option, and any other options you need.
  5. Click [Start Replacing] or [Search Only] depending on whether you want to Replace or just Find the text.
