According to the log, FileBot seems to work just fine from console.


These question marks strike me as very odd though:

Code: Select all

FileBot 4.8.1 (r????)
JVM: ??-bit Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
That's just digits, not special unicode symbols, so I've got no why that would be screwed up. It probably has nothing to do with why the GUI doesn't work though.


If it's the GUI that's not working, what happens if you launch the FileBot GUI from the console?

Code: Select all

That might have something to do with all the Integer values being screwed up internally:

Code: Select all

FileBot 4.8.1 (r????)
JVM: ??-bit Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
That is extremely strange and makes no sense. I've got no clue. There's something severely odd and screwed up on your machine. It's like all the numeric values have been corrupted in memory, which can't really happen.

The one clue I do have, is that the exact same binary works for everyone else, so there must be something really strange going on your this particular machine? Maybe anti-virus / firewall tools that interfere with the memory of the filebot process? Maybe some strange environment variable that changes the system charset in some odd way?

so is it with java then?
i mean, recently i updated my java but it wasn't working before so.. im not sure if that is relevant to this problem.

my anti-virus is Kaspersky. I tried to turn it of then run it again, didn't work. And no different info on console as well.
im not sure how will that interfere with memory process to the application can you explain more?

Maybe some strange environment variable that changes the system charset in some odd way?
can you give me some examples. Maybe i do have some of these laying around.. :?

1.
It's not Java. The APPX package includes a JRE so FileBot does not need or use or even look at the Oracle JDK you may or may not have installed on your system as well.

2.
Did you by any chance set JAVA_OPTS or FILEBOT_OPTS environment variables? Your locale settings may effect things as well? Are you using en_US locale?

3.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling FileBot via the Microsoft Store?

4.
Can you try this on a second Windows machine? Preferably a clean machine, so we can find a machine that works, and then figure out what's different.


EDIT:
You could also try the latest non-Store release (early beta, but it should work) to see if that makes a difference:

i didn't change any of that. i mean should i ? and how can i check ?

yes, it didn't work :(

my current windows machine is on my pc its not a VM. So it's a bet hard to set another win machine at the moment. i'll work on that later and report you as soon as i get it.
