Failing to Run on Windows 10 - Getting the error

"This app can't run on your PC To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher"

Is it intended only for Win 11?

How are you installing the app?

Apocallur commented 4 months ago

Found the exe after some dumbing on the github page. Installed the app by clicking the EXE file and went normal. It opens when I click on the application shortcut, but gives me this error when I try to right click an STL and "Open With" it shows this error

Hmm very odd indeed.

Just to clarify the steps:

You downloaded the installer from Github (presumably on the releases page)
fstl opens fine when you launch the shortcut
Error message appears when you try to use "open with" on an STL file?

One thing to try:

Open fstl like you would normally, then drag the file you want to open into the already open fstl window. Does the file open correctly?

IDK why exactly, it started to work normally today. I've recently formatted the pc, maybe was a windows update that was pending or my video driver that I reinstalled yesterday.

Thanks for the help, this viewer is amazing

Glad to hear it resolved itself. Thanks!
