Cura 3.2.1 does not start after install

Post by reibuehl »

Hi all,

after sticking with Cura 15.4 all the time, I thought I give Cura 3.x a try. I installed it (without having it uninstall my old 15.4) but it fails immediately on the first start even before I had a chance to accept the T&Cs:

Is there a way to find out why it fails?

Hello;

What operating system are you using, and what version of Cura x86 or 64bit

I have had Cura 15.04.6, Cura 2.6.2, Cura 2.7.0, Cura 3.1.0 and Cura 3.2.1 all installed and working correctly.
Just recently I decided to only keep Cura 15.04.6 Cura 3.1.0 and Cura 3.2.1 and they all work.

However Cura 3.2.1 still has a little bug, If I have a STL file loaded and Click on Reload all models.

I have Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 64bit and I use the 64bit version of Cura 3.2.1.

I was planning on updating my windows 10 backup hard-drives this weekend. As I do not use windows 10 currently.
I have a Spare Hard-Drive for all my computes with the Free Upgrade of Windows 10 that I continue to keep up to date.
Just in case I am forced to make the transition from window 7 Pro 64. I will install the versions of Cura and let you know what I find out.

I have successfully install Cura 15.04.6 and Cura 3.2.1 with no problems.
Checking the system requirements


Intel Core 2 or AMD Athlon 64 or newer
Windows Vista or higher, 64 bit. 32 Bit not supported after Cura 2.3.
OpenGL 2 compatible graphics chip, OpenGL 4.1 for 3D Layer view.

Intel Core i5, Windows 10 64bit, Intel HD GRapics 4000 which should support OpenGL 4.0, so it should at least start!

Is there no logfile or other way to find out why it doesn't start?

I only have a file fdmprinter in %AppData%\Local\cura\3.2\cache\definitions\3.2.1. No logfiles there. Do I need to start it with a special option to create the log?
