Hi there,

I get this error when the “Please Wait” message appear when i log in,

Thanks in advance :smiley:

Have you tried running as administrator or running in a compatibility mode yet?

I have the same problem and i tried the compatibility and administrator.

I also uninstalled the launcher, cleaned the registry and reinstalled the last version but i still have a crash after login on windows 8.1.

This problem came with the monday update, it was working fine before.

Same problem here.

Other then submitting a crash report, I’m not sure what else to do. Hopefully a staff member will see this and know how to resolve this issue.

Hey Guys,
I’m having the same problem since update from 4.8 to 4.8.1. I’m using windows 8.1.
I’ve report the issue but still there is no answer. Really stuck. Is it a way to go back to 4.8.

Try this link. It’s a little complicated but it should work. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/how-to-uninstall-applications-using-command-prompt/bd646fc8-dcfb-4d40-bc25-32b8a2fde1be?auth=1

sorry about that, i should have enclosed it : start CMD
go to the catalogue where Your install file is.
type the command : msiexec /i fullinstallfilename

What i would suggest to find out if you have a profile issue. is to create a New user on Your system.
login as the new user, install launcher and see if it Works then.

still didn’t solve my problem…
hope they review this issue ASAP, i really want to get started with my projects
