Bug description

• Fresh install of current version of Publii (0.45.2) on a new Windows 11 laptop

• Install succeeded with no issues ( I have also uninstalled/reinstalled Publii to verify the issue)

• Every attempt to launch the app results in this error message however:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:

Hi,

This error suggest that there is some issue with the default simple theme. Please check if file /sites/your-site-name/input/themes/Simple/config.json exists

If yes - please check if it is not corrupted.

Other possible reasons - problem with permissions or file is blocked by different process

Did you tried to uninstall Publii and remove the website files?

Confirmed: your solution worked, and it looks like this was user error (I had installed OneDrive on this machine, which synced an outdated Documents\Publii folder, and those files were causing the error message).

Thanks for the assistance, I appreciate it!
