Armorpaint: ArmorPaint Latest Build Will Not Run/Open

[ArgentArts]

Hello. I just (today) downloaded an update to ArmorPaint from GumRoad (08dev-win64) and it will not run at all. When I click the EXE file, the cursor cycles for a moment, then nothing. My system is Windows 10 Home, version 1903, OS build 18362.657.

I was just on my way here to open the same issue. I'm getting the exact same result when I try to run the latest ArmorPaint 0.8 build (2-12-2020).

Hi, many thanks for report. Is there an stderr.txt file generated alongside the .exe?

[bmobius]

No there is not.

[luboslenco]

Hm something to do with the .exe itself then. Somehow all seems well here but going to check on another machine. I assume 0.7 build still works ok?

[bmobius]

I just discovered that the most recent build works fine in any directory other than C:.

For example, I usually have ArmorPaint installed in C:\Program Files\ArmorPaint. However, the most recent 0.8 version will not run from that location even if I run it "As Administrator".

But I just copied ArmorPaint over to my D: drive and when I ran the .exe, it started right up.

That's the exact same for me. I also have ArmorPaint in C:\Program Files\ArmorPaint. If I copy the folder to my desktop and run the EXE, then ArmorPaint runs perfectly.

[luboslenco]

Oh no, that should have already been fixed. Great find, updated builds coming!

[bmobius]

Thanks, Lubo! Much love!

I'm having the same problem, it won't start up at all when i open the software unfortunately.

[luboslenco]

@LiamBester did you try the temporary workaround mentioned above? Where is your armorpaint located?

[luboslenco]

Updated 0.8 dev builds for Windows - things should be back to normal. 🔨

[ArgentArts]

That works for me. Thank you! :)

[bmobius]

Thank you, Lubo! The issue is resolved from what I can tell on this new build. ArmorPaint started right up from it's installation on my C: drive. Much love and keep up the great work!
