Doesn't run on Win10 clean install #39

Hi, the app should run when running the Green.exe file without requiting additional dependencies.

I wasn't able to reproduce this problem. You don't get any error from the system? Not even the smartscreen dialog with the options "Don't run" and "Run anyway" ?

Looked into this a little bit after setting up an old machine for testing some wallet software..

I don't think it's a permission issue on Windows. It does bring up the Don't Run/Run anyways dialog at first but you can confirm that. Also, it may flag the .exe and prevent execution but you can also just uncheck that in the properties as usual and it proceeds to launch.

As @th3m noted, it does actually create its directory in AppData and some cache files. For me, it shows the main window for around a second without actually rendering anything in it (white screen) and then crashes. I tried to download and run it on another system that already has quite a lot of software on it and it works without any issues there.

So for reproduction, I think your best bet would be to install Windows on a virtual machine and try to run it without installing anything else first.

Please try latest version 1.2.3. If you still face issues try running the app with the environment variable QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software.
