Program won't open past EULA

[7ylxr9]

I unzipped the download, double clicked the .exe, clicked Yes on the UAC, clicked Yes on the EULA, no window or icon on taskbar, nothing in task manager either.

[TheCypher1]

Do it again.

[7ylxr9]

Still happening. Not quite sure what you thought would happen.

[TheCypher1]

It did the same to be, so I opened the file again and it worked the second time.

[SkullyKiddo]

Long-Horse please, go to the Event Viewer and check if there's any log. If you don't know how: 1 - Start > Run > "eventvwr" 2 - Windows Logs > Application 3 - Right Click on Application > "Clear Log..." > Clear 4 - Open the Windows-10-Login-Background-Changer and verify if anything is logged there (press f5 to refresh)

And post the log here.

[7ylxr9]

Ok, there's an information log, application error and a .NET Runtime error.

[SkullyKiddo]

Ok, so... This exception makes no sense at all. This would happen due to a malformed XAML. Given the fact that many other people were able to open it, my guess is that the .exe is trying to bind to the wrong DLL.

It won't be possible to solve this or explore it further without logging these messages/exceptions (should be considered as a feature).

Long-Horse,

Could you please inform these two things:

• Have you executed it with administrative privileges?
• What device are you running this on?

If you can provide the installed programs it would be a good thing too. My guess is that there's a missing dll or its got an older version on your machine.

[7ylxr9]

Yes, I am running with Admin privileges.

I am running on my custom built PC. Asrock Z87 Extreme4, Intel core i5 4430, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, GTX 660Ti, running Windows 10 Pro.

[SkullyKiddo]

Long-Horse, would you agree running a compiled version by me so you can check the log that it generates? I'm going to insert a few try/catches that will log the exception on text files as it goes. Given the fact that you won't be able to see what's the code I'm placing here, is a trust based relation. If no, I'll ask you please to wait for the next version of the application. I'll be working on the log implementation for this PFCKrutonium\master version.

[SkullyKiddo]

Long-Horse, here's the compiled version with the correction: https://infotomb.com/5j4si

Here's the passed pull request: https://github.com/PFCKrutonium/Windows-10-Login-Background-Changer/pull/194

If you choose to execute my compiled version, please open the log that will be generated locally and paste the content here. Thanks in advance.

[7ylxr9]

I'm not at my PC right now. Where will the logs be stored and will it prompt an update when I open it or should I redownload it?

[SkullyKiddo]

You should download it again, because there's no update push. The log will be stored at the same folder of the application. The download link is on the previous comment, but it's unofficial.

[darth62969]

@Long-Horse has your issue been solved with the new update?

https://github.com/PFCKrutonium/Windows-10-Login-Background-Changer/releases/tag/1.2.0.0

[7ylxr9]

Nope, here's the log.

[monk45]

I get the same error with the same into in the log as Long-Horse.

[SkullyKiddo]

This is the commit that fixed this issue: https://github.com/PFCKrutonium/Windows-10-Login-Background-Changer/commit/68058bef1da08e4289348e3b649b0674011275be

[SkullyKiddo]

@Long-Horse and @monk45, please try the following as a workaround while the next version isn't released: 1 - Start > Run > "regedit" 2 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System 3 - Find/Create the value DisableLogonBackgroundImage (DWORD 32 bit) 4 - Set it to 0 5 - Save and execute the application

It should work for now.

[monk45]

@SkullyKiddo Awesome, that did it for me. Thank you!

[SkullyKiddo]

To those who have the change privileges, this Issue has already been fixed and also has a workaround. It may be closed.

[osseigh]

It worked just after going through these steps

1 - Start > Run > "regedit" 2 - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System 3 - Find/Create the value DisableLogonBackgroundImage (DWORD 32 bit) 4 - Set it to 0 5 - Save and execute the application

I try an application that which altered my reg and after setting the (DWORD 32 bit) to 0 the application started without any problem, thanks @SkullyKiddo
