Not really sure what's going on but after installing and running the app there's this dialog that pops up that's completely white (no borders, no icons, no titlebar) and that's inactive (tried clicking everywhere).

Waited for a long time but it wouldn't continue so the only thing I could do was to kill the process.

I then tried running it from a console to see if there were any errors, but none showed, just a bunch of very normal looking log messages.

Finally, seeing there was also a bash script in the same folder as the autopsy64.exe I fired up my Git Bash and started the app using the script and everything worked fine.
