Filebot doesn't start

Post by panmanr »

Hi
3d year without a problem until now.
Filebot doesn't start.
I double click desktop ixon and nothing happens. In task manager filebot launcer exe flashes for less than 1 sec. I re install it, run it directly from filebotlauncer.exe still nothing. Tried filebot exe, still nothing.
Windows 11, dell laptop, problems started after renewing lisence.
Best Regards,
Panos

p.s
Can't have log

:?: How did you install FileBot? Which version did you install?

:?: What does the console output say? Run filebot from console so we can see the error messages.

:idea: [FAQ] How do I run a filebot command on Windows?

:idea: The application crashing would be completely unrelated to any license key you're might be using. Whatever the root cause might be, it's almost certainly unrelated to your license key.

Damn, not enough space. I needs 750 mb to run. Fixed it, thanks for your response and help.

I see. If your system drive is full then strange things can happen and applications may unexpectedly crash or not work as expected. FileBot will display an error message when your system drive is almost full, but if it's very nearly almost full then FileBot will refuse to launch the GUI entirely and fail-fast with error message, as not to crash in strange and unexpected ways during runtime if disk spaces goes to 0 while FileBot is running.
