Chrome does not load the front-end

[giuspataro]

I installed IOPaint using python, and when I tried to load the application I just got a white screen. Then, I downloaded the Windows 1-click install, also for supporting the project, and I encountered the same issue.

I basically get this problem from Chrome Dev Tools:

Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/plain". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

I tried both on chrome and Firefox, without any positive effect

Is there a way to have the application?

Solved changing this:

You have to change Registry settings for two keys. Open the Registry Editor and

• Go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.js and change Content Type to application/javascript

• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes.js and change Content Type to application/javascript.

Then just restart your shell or jupyter kernel, and the app should start working on localhost. Make sure you force reload the app (Ctrl + Shift + R) to get rid of cached contents.
