Error at start stops the app from running #19

Closed 20GotoTen closed 5 months ago

20GotoTen commented 5 months ago

Hi! Firstly this is a superb editor which I've used previously, but I now get the error "exception EOIeSysError in module Gamelisteditor.exe at 00132BC9. class not registered" when I try to run it on a newer Windows 11 pc.

Is there a fix or workaround for this? I'd love to use it again as it's by far the best gamelist editor out there.

Thanks again

Hi! Yes, that is a known issue with a fix :). It is due to missing Windows video dependencies. Please check https://github.com/andresdelcampo/GameList_Editor/issues/18 That should solve it.

Actually, please confirm it solves the issue :). I suspect you may not have a chance to answer if I closed it.

Thanks for your response! I managed to find your closed issues and it had led me to another solution.

On Windows 11, I went to Control Panel / Programs & Features / Turn Windows features on or off, expanded Media Features and ticked "Windows Media Player Legacy (app)" and then it worked!

It may be a simpler fix for those like me who get the error. Thanks again!

Hmm... I will try to look into that in the future. I was under the assumption that those video components were preinstalled in all Windows "not N / media capped" versions. If that is not the case, it is worth finding a better solution for everybody.

Thanks for the feedback!
