Wappler 2.6.4 on Windows 7 starts & quits immediately

Hi,

I just joined wappler community and tried to start my trial period.

I downloaded the latest version 2.6.4 and installed it successfully,

Unfortunatelly, when I tried to open Wappler. It does not open. You can find a video of what happens here https://youtu.be/0MGyhOcd2sI

In order to take advantage of my 7 days trial. Can somebody share with me a previous version installer?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Gabo

@Gabo - please make sure you don’t have Avast Antivirus installed - it is crashing Wappler!
Just use Windows Defender it is great protection and it is free!

Thanks George!

Actually I have Avast, that could be the problem

At this moment I succesfully installed and opened version 2.6.3 that somebody share with me.

I will finish my today’s evaluation and tomorrow I will try to install 2.6.4 again, once i have uninstalled Avast, and I will let you know

Regards

We always have a lot of problems caused by Avast - it is really a very bad software, crashing many programs and slowing down your pc.

I strongly advise to uninstall it

I am using Vipre antivirus on my PC where I have this problem.
I can not start Wappler with debugging info.

BTW, Wappler 2.6.4 is working fine on my 8 yr-old laptop (Win 7 Ultimate, 12 GB, Quadro FX 880M) running Vipre also.

I’m with George 100%.

As a ‘computer security guy’ if we see infections we do not use AV to quarantine and recover any system. We start from scratch, fresh OS, fresh patches, fresh software, and in most cases a new hard drive. Malware and virus threats are always present but protecting against them is pretty much worthless. In Windows Defender is your best option by far. All these other AVs are next to useless and cause huge aggravation with their false positives and lock-downs. The threat to be concerned with is Ransomware and protecting against that using offsite backups and strict directory permissions. For most of us this is easily resolved with a little searching of the internet. Spawning new variants is as simple as downloading the source and making just a few changes that will evade most signature detection based anti virus tools. What you are left with is a terrible piece of software that in most circumstances is absolutely useless. Not only that it will steal from your resources, make changes most don’t understand, monitor, manipulate, and slow down your browsing experience, not to mention the numerous headaches with those all so common false positives. Save your money and spend it on an offsite/remote backup service. Just my two Cents.

As long as you don’t accept to download and extract those millions of $ sent to you in a zip by Obama to your email you shouldn’t be worried :smiley:

Not to mention how does Avast tracks you and collects data which they send later … How your antivirus software tracks you really really bad.

Hi Gabo,

I finally got Wamp operating on my computer and my then Wappler began have the same issue reported. The opening, rotating Wappler disk spun around once and flashed the ver2.6.4 label and went away without loading Wappler.

I also had Wappler on that computer and so I removed Avast from it. The problem with Wappler continued. Wappler 2.6.4 is working fine on this computer without Wamp.

Please let us know if removing Avast worked to solve your problem.

Hi @jaydigital

I just uninstalled AVAST and upgrade Wappler and it is working!

Thanks all

Regards

I just upgraded Wappler and it also refuses to run. I don’t use Avast but I use AVG.

I really like AVG as it also scans my emails and warns me when it finds something dodgy. Since the issue started when I installed the new version of Wappler it would seem the problem is with Wappler and not my choice of AV software which I’ve been using for over 10 years. Is the Wappler team planning on fixing it soon please? Thank you.

I tried installing 2.6.3 and voila, it works fine on my PC.
I still can’t figure out why it refuses to run 2.6.4

Hi George,

Getting rid of Avast Antivirus didn’t work on my HP Pavilion. Still not gett the Wappler to load on Startup - only the two logo images.

Thanks,

For those having this problem with Windows 10, we believe it might be related to the previous Windows 10 1903 version.

Could you confirm your version by running winver command?

And try to update to the latest Windows 10 1909 version to see if the problem still persist with Wappler 2.6.4

I’m running Windows 1809, build 17763.1039. It’s fully patched apart from the version.

Thanks.

I had an issue with the last windows update and had similar problems, Wappler closed on lauch. I uninstalled and re-installed and everything worked perfectly

Currently on V 1903 (OS Build 18362.720)

Hi2all
My Wappler 2.6.4 also crashes on win 10 / 1909 18363.720 incl. all updates without any Antivirus except Win Defender. The Win 10 is a clean install. Never was Avast on it or any other Antivirus App. All previous versions of Wappler worked like a charm.

Also i deinstalled Wappler and Installed it again (2.6.4) - no success.

Any Help or Hack for this issue?
Many thanks, John

this issue will be solved in the next update.

I’ve send test versions to the most people of this topic and they confirmed it is solved.

Thank you for fixing it. The 2.6.5 release works well.
