Crashes on launch #2165

When I open the ethminer application file, it opens command prompt, then immediately closes. Any idea what to do? I've run it as administrator, closes immediately again. I used this download: ethminer-0.19.0-alpha.0-cuda10.0-windows-amd64.zip

If you're simply double clicking on the executable that's pretty much expected: you don't provide any information to the program. Mind that ethminer does not provide any graphical user interface. Is all command line. Open a command prompt first and then from there launch something like ethminer.exe -P stratum://<your-pool-address-here>

As stated above, ethermine needs paramaters to run. Check them with a commandline and append --help to the binary.

Ok, I've done that and the command prompt is saying: ethminer.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." The attached image shows the commands I have been doing: image Obviously, I have censored my IP and username.

Your binary ethminer.exe is no longer present - it's clearly stated. calling a binary in windows is simply stating it - ie - ethminer.exe I am guessing it's been removed by Microsoft Defender (your AV, or another). Google for exclusions - this is not directly related to ethminer more than it's been through issues as has been flagged as malicious as per others usage of it.

I've reinstalled the software and I have the same problem, I made sure my AV trusts it and stuff but it's still doing that. image

You need to run ethminer from the directory you installed it from. Instead, you're trying to run it from your home directory.
