Programs tries to start then stops

Post by Rob H »

HI
need some help please

i have downloaded the windows version to a PC running windows 10.
FreeCAD v 19.4

the download went fine and the install seemed OK.

however when I start the program with either the desktop shortcut or the .exe file the program starts to run, looks to be loading some files and then stops after a few seconds at "RunningFreeCADGuiInit.py smart script done" and shuts down..

tried reloading and reinstalling and restarting PC.. no different..

have the latest version of W10 and updates.
please keep it simple for user. non programmer/developer

Regards
Rob H

Can you attach a screencast of screenshot of error messages or do you simply see nothing?

Please also try out this release:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... ller-2.exe

This will soon be our next release and maybe we already fixed an issue you suffer from.

your photo is not public so I get a 404 error when I click the link, upload it here in the forum instead or in some other file host site that is public if it's over the 1mb limit

You did not attach anything. Can you please do so - directly to a forum post please.
