RSS Owlnix won't launch #27

Closed cbinder4 closed 6 years ago

cbinder4 commented 6 years ago

I'm sure it's probably me doing something wrong but I can not get RSS Owlnix to launch on Windows. I get the splash screen as it attempts to load and then it errors and tells me to check the log file. Attached is my latest log file. Any assistance would be appreciated. 1538856085097.log

what rssowlnix version are you using?

it is somehow not finding necessary classes (java binaries). i would try to rename the old install folder and rename (or copy and delete old one) home folder ( %userprofile%\.rssowlnix-beta ). then see if a fresh install works. you can then copy over the data from the renamed/copied home folder to like: %userprofile%\.rssowlnix-beta\.metadata\.plugins\org.rssowl.core\

I grabbed the Win version for 2.6.0. I didn't see an installer to speak of... it's just a ZIP that looks like the same basic structure as my installed folder for RSS Owl. This is my first time trying to use RSS Owlnix which I hope to get working because I love RSS Owl but more and more things are not working with it as it becomes out dated. If there is an actual installer I must be overlooking it... can you point it out for me?

the zip is the only "install".

I can't say why it didn't work the first time, but I deleted %userprofile%.rssowlnix-beta and tried again and it is now working. Thank you.
