Program not starting

Post by LackWiz »

After extracting, the .exe file doesn't open properly.
I can see the "MoreMoney" program appear breifly in task manager, but then it quickly and silently closes itself.
It didn't appear to general any crash files or logs.

2 entries were found in the Event Viewer

Hi LackWiz,

Thanks for the very comprehensive bug report. Do you happen to know which version(s) of the .Net Framework you have installed on your PC. It doesn't seem to be included in the systeminfo file unfortunately.

MoreMoney is currently targeting .Net Framework 4.7.2. Can you try installing this from Microsoft: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down ... ork/net472 and see if that resolves the problem?

I'm on version 4.8.1 and unable to downgrade to 4.7.2.
Both versions (runtime and developer) don't work.

Ok. It should be possible to install 4.8.1 and 4.7.2 side by side - the latter doesn’t downgrade your existing version.

However, I’ll be releasing an update next week with Investment Portfolios, and have upgraded the target framework to 4.8.1 (which is the latest version of .Net Framework), and so if you would prefer to wait until then, no need to install.

As you may have seen in Announcements, I have just released an update, which now targets .NET Framework 4.8.1. Please let me know if this resolves the error on startup.

Hello,

With the newer version 1.1.0.0, I have the same problem as @LackWiz. The program immediatly crashes upon start.

The event viewer errors are the same as stated by @LackWiz. It seems it's still a .Net Framework issue.

Thanks, I think I have identified the problem (to do with the packager). Just working on a fix now.

I'm having the same start problem so will wait until you issue a fix and try again.

Ok, I think I have this working now. I've changed the way it is packaged (all the dlls are packaged into a single exe, but for some reason this was causing issues). Please let me know if this works now.
