Error message on all releases starting with 2021.12.2 #18

Closed meatee closed 7 months ago

I'm new to Gamelist Editor (starting today), and I'm having trouble running the newer versions. I'm getting the error message below (see attached image) with every release starting with 2021.12.2

I can run 2021.12.1 and before just fine.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro

See if the comments in this issue help -it was the same error: https://github.com/andresdelcampo/GameList_Editor/issues/8

Okay! I got it working. What I did was run the command mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46519511/getting-eolesyserror-class-not-registered-but-dont-know-which-dll-is-missing

From an administrator PowerShell, I ran this command: Get-WindowsCapability -online | Where-Object -Property name -like "media" | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

This appears to have reinstalled media components and re-registered dlls. What's weird is that I had no issues with videos before, and this is a relatively fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. I'm in the US, so this isn't an N version.

Great!!! Thanks for sharing! This was not the first and probably not the last time it may happen to someone ;)
