FreeSpiderbasic startup problem ...

[Caronte3D]

Something strange is happening with your Windows
I'm sorry you've abandoned this amazing IDE, being the only user with such a problem.

You could try to completely remove SB (also from you %APPDATA%) and re-install it to C:\SpiderBasic.

Well, all my programs are running very well, even CAD/CAM programs, all PureBasic versions and Ogre3d, Text Editors, Blender versions, ...

@bembulak

I did this multiple times, and yes on C:\SpiderBasic.
the APPDATA SpiderBasic file is empty (and I removed it).

thanks,
Marc,

May be it's due to the WebView2, do you know if it works in PureBasic (the WebViewGadget()) ?

[Caronte3D]

Try to install the: "WebView2 Runtime" (Evergreen Standalone Installer):

I have installed the free version of SpiderBasic in a Win10 sandbox. No WebView2 is installed there.

The IDE can be started normally. In the Tools panel on the right, I see the Explorer view with some sample codes, from which I select dialog.sb by double-clicking.

After starting the code, the WebView tab opens in the Tools panel on the right. The address line there is provided with the correct address. However, I cannot see the web app to be executed. This is probably due to the missing WebView2. If I click on the globe next to the address bar, the standard browser (Microsoft Edge) opens and displays the web app correctly.

@Marc: Unfortunately, your screenshots are no longer available. Have you deleted them?

If not AV try EventViewer>Windows Logs>Software and look for a red or yellow exclamation icon that occured at the time of launch. Every version and edition of Windows since '95 has this out of the box, and most times it reveals the exact reason something is happening.

I doubt it's UAC it's some dependency or something not updated in the free version or AV setting. EventViewer will tell you what it is.

Hi tj1010,

Thanks for your help,

This morning I found the info, after your tip, and my last try is date from 22/01/2025.

First, I'm no windows specialist, so ...
I use Win 10 pro x64
When I open the [EventViewer], I din't find [Windows Logs>Software]
EventViewer>Windows Logs>Software !!

So, if I look under [Windows Logs>Applications] I found this, (see image below)

What I see is that the program is saved in the [Program Files(x86)], is this ok for a x64 system ?


Thanks,
Marc

Yes spiderbasic is a 32bit program
Since its no advantage to be 64 due to export html output and not binary code

Have you try installing free spiderbasic to another computer and then copy the exact contents back to your computer overwriting data?
This may be help
