Did you disable NIC when you ran this app?

AkatsukiNin commented 7 years ago

I got the same error on Win10 Pro Version 1607 OS build 14393.1715

@Biswa96 no, i don`t disable NIC

I got this error too. Turns out you need to have internet access and an open firewall for this app to work. Huh, the irony....

I also got the error, but when I tried to run the script from source I didn't have any issue; might be worth a try.

DeeJayhX commented 6 years ago

The reason this crash is happening (I believe) is due to a lack of an exception check if the program is unable to see if an update is available.

DeeJayhX commented 6 years ago

@meshkov @yaseenshaik it's now fixed in v3.1.3, no longer need to have an internet connection to run as the error checking is now handled properly.
