Manager will not launch after installing v21.2.30. Clicking the desktop does nothing. Please advise. Thank you.

[image] Tizwoz: I downloaded & unpacked both versions you then double click on the ManagerServer.exe and it should leave a command window running browse http://127.0.0.1:8080

It only flashes a command window, but it doesn’t open it. I’ve tried turning off Avast & Firewall, plus Malwarebytes & Spybot, to no avail. I opened CMD & browsed to the server folder, then ran ManagerServer.exe & got this error: Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005 Does that give any clues?

do you have another computer you could try Manger on, if so try that. Server version is least demanding

I don’t I’m afraid, but on looking up that error, I came across this: [Subash] Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005 while running a .NET 6 Console App in Windows server .net-6.0, coreclr asked by Subash on 07:11PM - 31 Aug 22 UTC which seems to relate to SDK. I did install .NETFramework 7.0.5 the other day from an install file including SDK, & I have now uninstalled that & reinstalled just the 7.0.5 runtime version. However, Manager still isn’t working (Desktop or Server). Thanks all for your assistance so far, & if you come up any with more solutions, I will give everything a try.

Go to Download .NET Framework | Free official downloads and install it first.

This user’s experience highlights the risk involved in staying with out of support operating systems. They will work until they won’t and Murphy’s Law says they will break down just when you need it most

I looked at the Cloud version, but it’s too expensive for me - I don’t get paid for my work as it’s all volunteering with charities, & I am a UK pensioner (which says it all!). I have various versions of .NETFramework, including 4.8, so I guess I should not also need 4.6.1? I think I’m right in saying that later versions of NET Framework include earlier versions, so that should be covered? As to upgrading to Win10/11, surely it should not be necessary since Manager includes Win7 in its system requirements. I must admit, I am totally stumped by this! I’m beginning to suspect that this is a Webview2 issue - can anyone advise what version is being used, please?

See post by Desktop Edition Crashes on Launch - #26 by deeplist I would also recommend to show screenshots of the error.

I tried this, to no avail - downloaded WebView2 107 (per Deeplist), & reinstalled pre. December 2022 Managers (& the latest version), but the same situation persists. BTW, the Webview2 version I originally had (& uninstalled) when this first occurred was 109 (the last for Win7, I believe). Sorry eko, there are no screenshots available as I am not getting error messages (except the one above with the Server version via direct cmd input) - Manager simply does absolutely nothing. I see that there are several instances of this problem in the forum, going back several years, so it would be great to know what is happening so the developer can avoid whatever the problem is in future releases. Any other ideas, anyone? I will also keep trying to find the solution, & post here if I do.
