[BUG] Cannot use version 9 - Node.dll error #136

Open Lainemac opened 5 years ago

Lainemac commented 5 years ago

Every time I try to update or clean install 9.0 I get this error. Doesn't happen with version 8. https://i.imgur.com/DbPLQVf.png

I'm facing a similar issue. Have been able to use all previous versions but I get the same error however it's ffmpeg.dll that is supposedly missing.

Not getting any error, but when I try to launch version 9, it simply... doesn't. Sometimes when I try to launch it, I'll see it appear briefly in Task Manager, but then it disappears, and nothing happens.

I've tested it on two machines I own (rather than the corporate computer I've been using this application on up to now) and I can't replicate it there. I'm starting to suspect the AV is causing this issue. Up to now all versions were fine, so either the AV doesn't like it anymore or something changed in the app which flagged the AV.

I have this issue on my personal computer, but not my work computer which has node independently installed. Both computers use only Windows Defender for AV, so I don't think AV is the culprit.

@Lainemac @amarcuccio @elijahtlang @hotn Hey all, thanks for reporting these. Would you mind giving a bit more information (such as your version of Windows) and whether you have tried a fresh install vs. upgrading?

Thanks!

@chrisknepper

Hi Chris! First let me thank you for the time and work you put into this application, it's really appreciated.

I'm running Windows 10 v1809 x64, and I get the error regardless of whether I upgrade or install cleanly. I'm still troubleshooting, if I find the cause I'll definitely be posting it here.

Thanks!

@chrisknepper Hey Chris, I'm in the exact same position as amarcuccio. Windows 10 v1809 x64 (OS build 17763.316), doesn't work regardless of clean install vs upgrade.

My temporary workaround was to roll back to version 8, which is stable. (Interestingly, it hasn't prompted me to upgrade again, unlike how pretty much every other rolled-back program would.)

@chrisknepper Both of my machines are on Windows 10 v1803 x64. They both made it to v0.9.0 through upgrades, but I just tried a clean install of 0.9.1 on the machine that's having issues and it made no difference.
