Executable won't launch #22

Open DoobyDoobyMoo opened 4 years ago

DoobyDoobyMoo commented 4 years ago

After downloading and extracting running the executable does nothing. Is it possible I have it extracted to the wrong place or missed an installation step?

ThibautSF commented 4 years ago

If you are on Windows, your antivirus might have blocked the .exe You could add the file to the ignored one for your antivirus, or use the .bat/.cmd file (double click like an exe)

I too am having this issue. I set my antivirus to exclude the folder and exe files. The bat file won't work either.

ThibautSF commented 4 years ago

With the bat file, is there any black console window opened?

Can you try to duplicate the .bat (in order to keep the original, you can also create an empty one), edit it with a text editor and replace with this content : 

bin/LaunchParadoxosModManager.bat
pause

This should keep the console window opened and let a possible error to be visible. Because without errors or anything to reproduce it, I can't know how to solve it :/

DoobyDoobyMoo commented 4 years ago

paradoxos followed those steps, here is a screencap of the results.

Why do you have the file architecture of the source development environment?

If you want to use the sources follow the readme build from source section

Otherwise, download a release from release list for a specific version: https://github.com/ThibautSF/ParadoxosModManagerRework/releases Also, links are in the readme downloads section

As an example for indev version, simply click on the zip for the operating system you want image

DoobyDoobyMoo commented 4 years ago

Ah, that's rather embarrassing. Thanks for the help!

AerosolNinja commented 4 years ago

For whatever reason I still can't get it to open nor does the command prompt stay open even after editing the bat file as you instructed.

ThibautSF commented 4 years ago

I don't really know what to do if even a bat file doesn't work on windows...

AerosolNinja commented 4 years ago

I figured it out. This was a new installation of windows and this was the first bat file I used. Turns out some registry file was screwing up command prompt itself. Sorry for wasting your time.

ThibautSF commented 4 years ago

That's a pretty strange error.

Don't hesitate to put your solution here (in case of someone else get this error too) ^^

AerosolNinja commented 4 years ago

Command prompt would open and immediately close. You couldn't even read anything before it flashed away. So this of course caused bat files not to work.

My solution was going in to regedit and deleting the second entry, below default. I forget exactly what it was named but I believe it was autorun. Anyway I deleted that and everything is working now.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor Thank you so much! I created a github account just to thank you! I was trying everything and It didn't work!
