Has anyone encountered this issue when launching the software?
The only fix I’ve found so far is to uninstall and reinstall FreeCAD. Is there a better way to fix this? I wish the error message was more descriptive…
Edit: It seems that I can only launch FreeCAD by ticking the “Launch FreeCAD” checkbox in the initial installation wizard. All subsequent attempts to launch FreeCAD seem to fail. I can uninstall the software without removing my user preferences, so it’s not terrible, but having to reinstall the software every time I want to close and reopen the software is a bit… undesirable.
Edit2: If it helps narrow things down, I’m on a Windows 10 machine.
The error is too vague for anyone to be able to help. Try running freecad from a terminal and see if there is any error reported there
Double-clicking on
FreeCADCmd.exedoes nothing. Right-clicking and choosing “Run as administrator” seems to launch FreeCAD in a terminal window:No idea what to do from here.
If I navigate to the FreeCAD/bin directory in Command Prompt and try to run
FreeCAD.exe, I get the same pop-up error as my original post. If I try to runFreeCADCmd.exefrom Command Prompt, I get seemingly the same error, but in text form!Are there any diagnostic or troubleshooting tips you would recommend at this point?
