4. Does not work on Windows 10

Does not work on Windows 10


  • Installed it on Windows 10, 20H2.
    Intel HD 3000 gfx - no fancy drivers.
    Nothing just happens when it is started - no splash screen, no program windows. It does something for at second then stops.

    @Ingolf I will look into this. Is that on a laptop?

  • @vectoradmin Yes, older but solid model from HP. All hardware and drivers quite normal, standard for a HP business laptop. Enterprise N model of Windows 10. Danish language.

    Any logs or anything? Event viewer doesn't reveal anything.

    Thanks

    @Ingolf Check if there is a c:\Users<User Name>\NumericPath\ folder. That is where VS stores its local user settings (if it manages to launch).
    Then in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NumericPath\ if there are crashes.

    @Ingolf Do you have OpenCL driver installed on your system?

  • @vectoradmin No, GPU chipset too old. Where is it installed? I tried once, I think.

    @Ingolf The missing OpenCL is the problem!

    First: I have to fix this, as this should not be required 🙂

    Second: You could try to install OpenCL, as described in:
    https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/opencl-drivers.html and
    https://streamhpc.com/blog/2015-03-16/how-to-install-opencl-on-windows/

    Thanks for letting me know, this is a serious issue in VS.

  • @vectoradmin Installing opencl helped a bit, now the app starts. First dialog is a crash dialog but the program still works. I filled the dialog out and send the report.

    No crash logs this time.

  • For your to do list: It looks like VS doesn't use the monitor profile I have configured in Windows. I have a wide gamut screen so the colors will look awful. 🙂

    @Ingolf Added this to the backlog.

  • @Ingolf Crash report only happened on the first launch. Not seeing it anymore.

    @Ingolf Thanks for letting me know.
    I will fix the OpenCL issue, and will look into the monitor profile problem also.
    Meanwhile, the Display color settings of VS can be set in the Styles -> Color Settings menu, if that helps.

    Thank you for ultra-fast and competent help! 🤝

    Vectorstyler looks extremely interesting - and bizarrely feature rich already! You should really stabilize, mature and polish VS now. I can only say WHOW.

    Prepare for a bombardement of suggestions, bug reports and usability suggestions. 😅
