http://www.cgsecurity.org
The terminfo file '/testdisk-7.0-WIP\63\cygwin' is missing.
Extract all files and subdirectories before running the program.
Press Enter key to quit.
-----------------------

i do have folder named 63 with cygwin inside (2 KB file)

ive tried to run it from console with admin rights and the same msg appear.

any help will be appriciated

The problem has been fixed. Please download the new 7.0-WIP released today.

I downloaded the 32-bit Win version, from the April 18, 2015 dated download page. On a machine running Win 7 SP1, 64-bit version with WoW installed, unpacked into a directory as required. I get the same message as the OP. This is for both testdisk and photorec. I did not run as administrator. Is there a subtle point I missed?

... it did appear to require admin permissions (or possibly network permissions, not 100% sure). You might want to add that to the FAQ
