TileMill will not open #2440

Open coregis opened 9 years ago

coregis commented 9 years ago

TileMill no longer opens, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but apparently I am not completely uninstalling because error returns upon reinstallation.

Thanks for your help!

OK I finally figured out why uninstall/reinstall was not working. There are two directories that unisntall does not remove:

c:\Users[user].tilemill c:\Users[user]\AppData\roaming\npm-cache\tilemill

Once I nuked those, I successfully reinstalled TileMill and all is right with the world. At least, the web mapping part of it.

wow, thanks for the followthrough @coregis - I did not realize those could bust a re-install. Going to re-open this to track a fix to prevent the problem.
