new version 1.5.4

existing but empty file.
and I absolutely cannot read or block the second window.

Sorry @F85, I have no idea what is going on… hopefully some windows user can help you further :frowning:

Thank’s for help :smiley:

I used
c:\Program Files\ART\1.5.4>art.exe . >&2 c:\users\françois\desktop\log.txt

I am patient and not hurry

one more thing: did you check that you don’t have a firewall and/or antivirus that blocks ART for some reason?

You should use
c:\Program Files\ART\1.5.4>art.exe . >c:\users\françois\desktop\log.txt

I had problems with Avast (don’t remember which), so I uninstalled it.

Hi,
it’s Nod32 for me, and I thought about it when I started Art with protection disabled.

no other firewall than that of windows
I thought about antivirus, when I started Art with protection disabled

FYI, I just installed Rawtherappee 5.8 and it seems to be working fine :wink:

If you had previous versions installed, you can try removing the cache folder, sometimes it causes problems.

On my Windows 10 system is in C:\Users\danie\AppData\Local\ART-master\cache

Hi,
I don’t have any other versions installed and I had already deleted the entire Art directory on AppData before reinstalling it.
I haven’t master, only \cache, \profiles and options

can you try running from inside gdb? If you have rawtherapee installed, you might have gdb as well in there. If so, try running:

c:\program files\rawtherapee\gdb.exe "c:\program files\ART\1.5.4\ART.exe"

then type run at the prompt, and see if you get some error message… (see attached screenshot)

response quota exceeded, I can no longer communicate before 2 days.
The test version does not work better.

I believe you are on Windows 10, right?

Try enabling Smartscreen log events:

wevtutil sl Microsoft-Windows-SmartScreen/Debug /e:true

Then try Art (either from GUI and the command line.

Then open Event Viewer and look for Smartscreen events:

EDIT: Better open a CMD window as administrator to issue the wevutil command above.

EDIT2: At least on my up-to-date Windows 10 computer, the first time I executed Art SmartScreen poped up a confirmation dialog, warning of potential risks.

Thanks, we are making some progress. Can you try with this new installer and see if that works? (uninstall the previous version first)

Hello @agriggio !
@F85 has exceeded the message quota allocated to new arrivals and is unable to contact you by private message.

He asks if there is another way to speak with you as he still cannot launch ART.

I just pushed him up one level

Thank’s Ingo :slight_smile:

same effect with test version.
I took the opportunity to repeat the gdb test

so… the only warning I saw in the previous output has gone away, and now it seems ART is just getting killed for no reason. I still think there’s some kind of antimalware that is blocking it, though I don’t know what. Did you try following the steps suggested by @gadolf ?

I don’t know if I understood everything …
the link to the event log
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rDo4Di41sJluK97p9rFYtOzAwkBhit8h/view?usp=sharing

  • No malware, virus on my system
  • No resident program to screen them

Test performed with Nod32 anti-virus and Windows Defender firewall disabled.
Art does not launch.

Thank you for your help.
