PrusaControl doesn't start

Open coolcow opened this issue 8 years ago • 16 comments

On a fresh installation of Windows 10 (64bit) in a VM i get this error when i start PrusaControl.

auswahl_001

The error Failed to execute script main stays in the backgroud behind the splashscreen. I have uninstalled and installed PrusaControl again a couple of times, but without success.

Slic3r PE works fine.

What am i doing wrong ?

Hi, attach a log file from PrusaControl. It is placed in C:\Users\{your user name}\prusacontrol.log

After deleting `prusacontrol.cfg' it works now (it appeared to be empty). Maybe the application should ask if it should create a new configuration file (in the case of a corrupted one) instead of just crashing. But hey, its Beta ! :)

Thx for the hint !

I copied the 'materials_i3_mk2.json' file and renamed it 'materials_i3_mk2mm.json'. it launches just fine now.

Ryans585 avatar Sep 15 '17 20:09 Ryans585

Yep that works

Many thanks

To everyone who has the same issue: Please report your exact operating system and version, thanks.

Win10 PrusaControl 0.9.4_415 beta - but issue seems to be fixed now.

moeskerv avatar Sep 24 '18 18:09 moeskerv

It seems that https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaControl-settings/commit/e53b853e22f6bedbc4bf26d68d8193ea8933233f fixed the issue.

moeskerv avatar Sep 24 '18 18:09 moeskerv

It seems that prusa3d/PrusaControl-settings@e53b853 fixed the issue.

Indeed, same here!

ljcousse avatar Sep 25 '18 06:09 ljcousse

Had the same error also with this version... The reason was simple.

I did hide these 2 files as I didn't want to see them in my main user folder. C:\Users{your user name}\prusacontrol.log C:\Users{your user name}\prusacontrol.cfg

Usually works for other apps but not here, after removing windows hide file flag the startup worked as before...
