Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee 2.0 On Windows 7 - Fatal Error

I tried Control Panel > Programs and Features > Repair, but it did not resolve the issue. Here is the new log file:

Try going to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs (or something similar) -> Click on Banshee and choose "Repair".
There was a bug with people who installed 1.9.5 over 1.9.4 (and a few people also got it with 1.9.6), this seamed to fix that for me, maybe it will help - it basically tries to fix any errors with the instillation and config files, may or may not help.

If it doesn’t (or even if it does), post your %APPDATA%\Banshee-1\log file so the devs can try and recognise the error

I just installed Banshee 2.0 on a Windows 7 box. I set it to Run As
Administrator and tried running it both normally, and in Compatibility Mode
with Windows XP. Either way when I launch the application I get the
following fatal error:

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".

Has anyone else encountered this error?

I haven't tried the public build on Windows yet, but I do have the latest git code running fine on Windows 7. You shouldn't have to run Banshee in compatibility mode, and you *definitely* shouldn't run it as administrator (you shouldn't run anything as administrator, really, but that's a different topic entirely).

The error you posted looks like something the JIT debugger would spit out. Is there a way to expand the dialog you get to see the rest of the message and the traceback? If so, please post that so we can have a little more insight into what's happening.

Depending on when the crash actually occurs, you may have some information in the log. Please check C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\banshee for a log file and have a look at its contents.

Let us know if you find anything more.
