CompactGUI crashes immediatly after starting

[flameshikari]

Update: found the solution

System Info

CompactGUI Version: 3.2.0
OS: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3155)

Notes

I didn't find where CompactGUI logs are stored, sorry. I can give more info, just tell me.

What I've tried and it didn't help:

• both CompactGUI version (monolithic and normal)
• removing files from %LOCALAPPDATA%\IridiumIO\CompactGUI
• running CompactGUI in Windows Sandbox

settings.json is empty.

watcher.json:

{
  "Item1": "0001-01-01T00:00:00",
  "Item2": []
}

Also, databasev2.json changes in size every time I start CompactGUI.

Behavior

[minhgi]

Same with version crash on my laptop too. Windows 11 2H23. Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\IridiumIO\CompactGUI as well.

[gabri25ele]

yes me too with 3.2 version

[gabri25ele]

now also the 3.1.1 crash immediately
3.1.0 still work.

[flameshikari]

I've launched 3.1.0, then clicked OK in a popup, after that 3.2.0 started without issues. 🧐

Maybe the new version has issues with creating settings.json or something like that. Anyway I let the developer close the issue himself once the problem is solved!

very strange.

I love releasing bug fixes that create even more bugs :(

@flameshikari, @gabri25ele , @minhgi can I get you guys to check your event logs to see what the error messages are:

1. Open Event Viewer
2. Navigate to Windows Logs > Application
3. Find the CompactGUI error and paste the error message here

@gabri25ele Ah it's the stupid permissions error that strikes again:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier' to type 'System.Security.Principal.NTAccount'.

This is actually related to the SID error you've commented on here #356 which I still haven't figured out yet, and should technically be unrelated to any of the changes I've made in 3.1.0 or 3.2.0.

[flameshikari]

@Iridium-IO sorry for late answer. Here are logs.

Also I noticed that the file version under Properties → Details isn't correct (but by commit it's 3.2.0).

[wuyilingwei]

If new install try run this command in cmd.exe

echo [] > %LOCALAPPDATA%\IridiumIO\CompactGUI\settings.json

It can fix error setting json file.
