RSMods wont open #104

Closed cokolwiek235 closed 2 years ago

cokolwiek235 commented 2 years ago

RS Mods wont open after installation. There is no message, no nothing. It's not visible in the Task Manager.

Thank you.

Edit: VC_redist.x64 is installed (2015-2022) same as .Net Framework.

When you installed, were there any errors? The installer should open the GUI when it's done installing.

Is your Rocksmith in a weird location? # Running it through WINE on Linux? Are you using a steam copy of the game? Etc. Anything that could help us try to trace how the GUI might fail?

ffio1 commented 2 years ago

If not, I can make a debug copy of the GUI that will log the steps it takes before it crashes so we can try to get this fixed for you.

It has installed without any errors and nothing has opened after installation was complete.

Rocksmith is installed outside of steam default folder on D: partition. I am using Windows 10 21H2 and of course steam copy I just downloaded earlier today after fresh Windows 10 install.

Its not giving any errors so I don't know what else I can tell...

RSMods.zip Can you try with the EXE inside this zip folder? It has a try-catch around the GUI startup functions, and a logger setup. If it does crash, can you send the startup.log it makes?

Place the EXE in your RSMods folder.

cokolwiek235 commented 2 years ago

Just tried that, but there is no startup.log after I tried to run it...

Can you try opening a command prompt, and opening the application that way? It might spit out an error there, that the GUI isn't getting somehow.

Going to the folder in File Explorer, then typing in "cmd" in the top bar should open a command prompt in that folder. Then type "RSMods" and press Enter.

Huh, it opens up alright when I use CMD

You might want to check your system integrity. I know you said you just installed W10 21H2 but that is not normal. You are crashing in the default code that comes with a default C# WinForms project. I don't know why CMD would work but clicking on the EXE wouldn't, unless somehow the file association for EXE files got set to something it shouldn't.

In the mean time, you might be able to use the GUI by placing this bat file into your RSMods folder and double clicking it. It should simulate you opening CMD to open the executable. So if you want to open the RSMods.exe, just open this RSMods.bat file. RSMods.zip

Alright. Thank you for your help :)

Somehow it started working on its own. Thank you once again.
