Not starting (no error)

Hi, sorry to bother you with this but I bought the tool on Gumroad, however upon launching the GUI nothing happens (It fails to run but no error pops up).

I have all .net runtimes and visual C++ up to date. I've tried re-installing them but nothing changed. 

I have a suspicion that it might be the specific version of windows I'm using that's causing it. Could this be the case or am I missing something else? 

OS: Win10 LTSC x64 21H2

Hello, crniorao05!

Looking at the .NET docs, .NET 9 (the version used for building the app) should support it. Double check that every file from the zip file were extracted. If they were and the app still doesn't open, please do the following:

  1. Open the Event Viewer (you can find it via Windows Search) and look into Custom View -> Admin Events and check the error events for any information regarding the tool.
  2. Head to the Temporary Files folder (Press Windows Button + R -> type %TEMP% -> Press Enter) and find every log file that is called CompilerSession-DXGUI-yyyyMMdd-hhmmss.log and check for line that say "Exception!".

Thank you for the reply! 


I've triple checked everything. All the .NET runtimes are up to date and all the files are there. 

Opening up the event viewer I found this error:

As for the temp folder, there are no logs left behind with that name. 

This took longer than anticipated, as the exception code gave me two to three potential issues. Just to narrow it down, check if there are corrupt files in the OS. You can do this by following this guide: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

I can also send you an experimental version of the tool, to rule out any build issues on my side.

Thank you so much for the reply. 

My windows 10 is an LTSC version and a custom one at that, so some features are disabled, such as updates and because of that when I run sfc /scannow it will say that there are corrupted files, but it will not specify or repair those "corrupted" files because the updates are disabled (permanently on this custom OS).

Can you please send me the experimental version so we can check? (though I highly doubt that it is an issue on your end)

If this doesn't work, I guess I'll just have to re-install windows some time in the future. 

And once again, sorry for taking up your time!

I've sent a link for the build in your email. Let me know if it works.

Thank you for sending me the experimental version, I've downloaded and tried to open it but same thing happened again (crashed without error), however this time the error in event viewer is different and there are two this time.
