When I try to run qphotorec_win.exe (in a command window as administrator) nothing happens.
qphotorec.log is empty.


I extracted the zip file to a directory.
Tried to run the program.
Nothing happens.

What did I do wrong?
What can I check?
What am I missing?

When I run photorec_win.exe it responds:
"Disk identification, please wait..."
but nothing else happens...

What am I missing?

There is probably a damaged disk or memory card connected to your computer.
You can try to boot from a Linux LiveUSB/LiveDVD (ie. Fedora) and run testdisk but if the problem is not windows-related, the program will freeze again.
In this case, the only solution is to contact a data recovery company.
