Clipclip won't load up

I have downloaded ClipClip onto two new computers and it won't load up on either.

It has installed, but there seems to be no way to open the program.

I've tried running as administrator. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

The laptops are brand new Lenovos running Windows 10 Home. I have downloaded ClipClip onto several other laptops of the same type over the last few months without a problem.

Hi all

Unfortunately, this was a problem with the setup file since it was configured as for all previous ClipClip versions. But now, its settings have been changed according to new Windows updates. A new installer (v. 2.1.3064) is available on the website (https://www.clipclip.com). It contains all the necessary corrections.
NOTE: Before installing ClipClip, please visit this web page (https://clipclip.helprace.com/i109-app-not-starting), where are described some helpful installation steps.

Sorry for the inconvenience.


Best Regards,

Hi

If this is the first installation, make all steps that are described above.
Finally, to avoid "System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException" error, manually create a new folder (it will contain the log file):
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Vitzo\ClipClip

All these errors are already fixed and a new installer will be ready in 2 days.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Harry

We have already fixed this problem on our side. At this moment, we are testing new fixes.
After that, you will get them with new updates. Since the ClipClip cannot be launched, you have to uninstall it and download a new version directly from the web site (http://www.clipclip.com).

Now, we would ask you to make some steps that can check your problem in more detail:
1) Install the ClipClip app - it is installed but it is not launched automatically (Right?);
2) Open this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\ClipClip;
3) Double-click on the ClipClip.exe file - as a result, the app is not run;
4) Open Windows "Event Viewer" app:
=> Events Viewer (local)
=> Windows Logs
=> Application
5) Find and click the "Error" of ClipClip app when "Source" is ".Net Runtime";
6) On the "General" tab, copy the error description and send us it;

To solve the problem on your computer, try the following scenario:
- Create a new empty text file.
- Rename it to "ClipClip.exe.config" (".config" is a file extension - not ".txt");
- Insert the following text data to this file and save it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections></configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" />
</startup>
<runtime>
<AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.IO.UseLegacyPathHandling=false;Switch.System.IO.BlockLongPaths=false" />
</runtime>
</configuration>

- Move this file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClipClip" folder;
- Double-click on the ClipClip.exe file to run the app.

Please send us the test results.

Following these instructions didn't work (install, save config file, then run) for me

Uninstalling and installing the prior version I had (2.1.2574) works

Link to old version setup (I couldn't find a download link for it):

(I keep setup files around for problems like this. Upgraded installation to 3060 works on my desktop; installing it for the first time on my Surface has this problem of exiting during launch)
