rpfm_ui.exe does not start the application #271

Hi, rpfm_ui.exe does not start the application Nothing happens after clicking on it. But rpfm_ui process hangs in windows task manager.

Win 10 rpfm-v4.1.3-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

In 2022 I used v3.0.16 with rpfm.exe everything was fine.

Downloaded v3.0.16 - starts and works well via rpfm.exe Tried to update from an open program. After updating and restarting it stops working.

Do a clean install and try again. A lot was changed between 3,X and 4.X, and it's possible you have some residual file from 3.x messing with 4.x.

Hello! What do you mean by "clean install"? I initially downloaded rpfm-v4.1.3-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. Then unzipped and tried to run rpfm_ui.exe It doesn't work as described above. Already after v4.1.3 failed I tried downloading and running v3.0.16

I mean delete everything in "C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Roaming\FrodoWazEre\rpfm\config" and see if that makes it start. If it's not that... Either is a weird bug where rpfm assumes something that your system doesn't have, or you are missing some lib in your system that rpfm doesn't ship with because it assumes it has to be in the system already.

It's not that. What kind of libraries are needed? What should I install?

no idea what you may be missing. Download dependency walker from here https://www.dependencywalker.com/, open rpfm's exe and see what libs it complains about as missing. Keep in mind there will be a lot of warnings about "api-compat" libs. You can ignore those.
