To concretise the
topic a little more:
There are currently
3 options to establish the connection between Everything 1.5a and Total Commander:
Point 13. SETTINGS: For 'Everything' in Total Commander & 'Everything' -> from 'Everything' Version 1.5
- Pt. 13.1.b.1. wincmd.ini [Configuration] UseEverythingInstance=1.5a ... AND ... Everything.ini: alpha_instance=1
-OR-
- Pt. 13.2.b. Everything-1.5a.ini: alpha_instance=0 --> Disable 1.5a Instance
-OR-
- Pt. 13.2.c. File: NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE
One file WITHOUT content and WITHOUT file extension in the Everything programme directory
(this is where the file "Everything64.exe" [or "Everything.exe"] is located).
Furthermore, there are [important] notes on OPTIONAL settings.

Note:
Two different Everything
installation locations are NOT required.
If you are considering a complete switch from Everything 1.4 to 1.5a (I advise you to do so),
then in my opinion this would be the appropriate location:
C:\Program Files\Everything\ ... for the migration to 1.5a.
In this case, I would highly recommend the variant under
point 13.2.c. File:
NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE
