[Bug]: x64 installer doesn't show anything #241
Comments

This seems like an user error, have you tried restarting your computer ? If still not possible you can install the driver manually |
|
Manual install works. Please note that I don't have multiple desktops (I disable the virtual display unless I wanna run a sunshine session).
Nothing works.. Btw, this is what the preview shows when you hover the task icon: |
|
what antiviruses do you use ? |
|
None, just the default windows security. |
|
try focusing the windows by clicking onto the installer then using |
|
I don't have additional monitors, nor additional desktops, so I don't know how the window might get "tucked" there. But regardless, doing |
|
Btw, this is what it shows when I alt-tab: |
|
I don't understand why though, it runs fine on a completely clean install of windows. Maybe try see if you can run it in compatibility mode or right click then run as administer that way |
|
Yeah, it's really puzzling. Here's another datapoint: this is what process explorer shows, and as you can see it clearly states that there's no visible window:
And this is the process tree:
|
No difference running in compatibility mode (windows 8). Same with administrator mode (which I already mentioned above). |
|
My apologies, it's 2am and I'm half asleep. I know it sounds weird but have you tried downloading it with a different browser ? It's random but I've had a couple apps that I've installed previously which just straight up refused to work when downloaded from one browser compared to another |
|
We do have the manual install method, but yeah, this is a first for me as well. Never seen an installer or app open with no visible window in this context. |
Not a problem at all! :) I usually run Firefox so I re-downloaded it with Chrome, but it made no difference. |
|
This is random and probably not the case, but would this by chance be an ARM64 based device? Or is it for sure a 64-bit system? |
|
eheh, worth a try but no: it's a x64 (intel i7) system. |
|
If it were an arm based device window would say this application isn't compatible with this version of windows |
|
Worth a shot. lol |
|
Maybe this can help: when I see the process tree being created in Process Explorer, there's a brief moment when conda (python?) is run, and then it disappears. Is this expected? |
|
Conda is just used for installers In general, installer is build with inno which uses pascal. Could it be a windows issue? Try use a system file check to verify integrity of windows |
Yep, that's already something I tried (should have mentioned it, sorry). When I run it, it asks if I want to "repair", or "uninstall" it, so I assumed it's fine. Btw, this is the hash of the downloaded |
|
Just tested to be sure and it seems fine on my 24H2.
Hash also seems correct. SHA1: d90f3572fb768445aeae823db1f735326955e9a3 |
Actually, it looks like mine is 24.12.25, not 24.12.24. I doubt it will make a difference, but would you mind trying that one? |
|
Heh Mike opened my development installer |
System file check found nothing relevant. Even after running it I still get the same behaviour (i.e. no window). |
You're right. lol. I had them next to eachother in the downloads folder. Just tried the 24.12.24 and it also works. |
|
We have a very similar setup, except perhaps windows pro vs home: |
|
Did you try sfc ? |
Yep, see above ("System file check found nothing relevant"). |
|
Same OS exactly. Super weird. I'm tempted to say that since the security prompt was disabled at first, it may have been auto denied or something. But running as Admin should have cleared that up once you reenabled it. Are the GPU drivers up to date? I don't know of any issues with specific driver versions, but it could be related to those if it's a display type issue. Have you ever run any Windows Minify or Declutter scripts? Those also remove some necessary components. |
|
I'm going crazy, I need my sleep, my apologies again. Only other thing I can think is it's trying to place it on a display which doesn't exist |
|
Windows does have virtual desktops (as opposed to virtual monitors), but I'm not sure it would open in one by default. Worth checking though. Could be opened on "Desktop 2" for example.
|
As mentioned above, I do not have virtual desktops. |
Also, this is what mine looks like when alt tabbing as well. The window only shows on screen but not in the view. So that looks ok, oddly enough. |
Yeah, that might be the case. Where to, though... I have no idea. |
|
I have a few programs running that might affect the behavior of existing windows. However, closing them made no difference:
|
|
I found it! I had my execution policy disabled for PowerShell (which I think should be the default?). |
|
Mine is off by default! Edit: infact i dont think it lets you use it without turning of developer mode ? |
|
Mine was on in 24H2. Lets me change it whether or not I'm in dev mode. Glad you got the installer working, Nova! |
|
I'm not sure what's going on exactly. I suspect it might be an interaction with other "security" settings in windows, although I try to mostly keep it "vanilla". There might be minor stuff I have changed (I also have my dev side projects), but it's hard to do a proper diff compared to a clean install. |
Which OS?
Win11 Pro
Which release?
24H2
Describe the bug
After having confirmed that the app is allowed to make changes to the system, no window appears. Only the task icon is present, but clicking on it doesn't bring anything up.
Note: I do not get the "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" window as I disabled it, but even enabling it back didn't make a difference.
Steps to reproduce
Virtual.Display.Driver-v24.12.24-setup-x64.exeExpected behavior
The setup window should be visible
