Did not start

[halle-saale]

I am running Windows 11, but after starting the .exe, nothing happens.

Are there any special requirements?

By the way: we have published a little article on our website Amiga-News.de:

Thank you for the review!
So far, I don't see any special requirements under Windows 11 (I'm using it).
You can try with this settings file (just unzip it in the rePlayer folder, and when you run it, it should output log files into the logs directory).

Thanks.
Unfortunately, again, nothing happens...:(
I did unzip the setting file into the rePlayer folder (not in the rePlayer sub-folder with the dlls), right?
No windows opens, nothing. Could it have to do with any restricted rights?

And I do not need any Java or something like that?

(the settings.ini should be alongside the rePlayer.exe).
No, it shouldn't need anything; is there any log files dumped in the logs folder?

This is what my rePlayer folder looks like:

But no logs folder was created...

Do you a crashdump of replayer in this directory? %userprofile%\AppData\Local\CrashDumps
Should be something like rePlayer.xxxx.dmp
Because if no logs are created, it means nothing is getting started so it might crash very early on (maybe a system dll is missing, or maybe the app is blocked by windows protection?)

Unfortunately, there is not such a directory...
And I also tried to start the program as administrator. Odd...

You can try running the win32 version; it's also working under Windows 11 (it will just be emulated and a little bit slower).

This was one of the first attempts to get it running...;)
Unfortunately, there is no message or something like that about Windows preventing the start!
I will give it a try on my Windows machine at work next week.

I tried on a freshed installed laptop with windows 11, so it started after a prompt from the UAC (the app is not signed), but it took a while (don't know why as the app does nothing except checking for a newer version). At least the app was visible in the notification area while this was happening. After that, relaunching the app was fast.
