IntelliJ terminal fails to start when ansicon is enabled

[avi613]

Hi,

I'm working on windows 10 with IntelliJ. I downloaded ansicon ansi160.zip.

When i run ansicon -i then IntelliJ terminal fails to start. Erreur message doesn't say much: Windows Interpreter stopped working. However, regular windows console (not embedded in IntelliJ) still works.

This seems related to #41, which worked for me, but was a while ago.

Since you still have a regular console, ansicon -u should remove it and get IntelliJ working again. Where have you installed? Installing to %windir%\system32 is not a good idea, so if you put it there, move it somewhere else. Try running IntelliJ directly from ansicon, with logging: e.g. ansicon -l17 idea.bat (at least, I think that's what you run), then copy %temp%\ansicon.log here.

Not that I think it matters to this problem, but why such an old version? The latest here and on my site is 1.66, and there's 1.70 on my OneDrive (and msys2).
