could you take a look at the event log as described here ? https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer/issues/310#issuecomment-370152359

maybe there's some better information in here

I see nothing that mentions EDEngineer, I tried with the "Find" option and nothing.

I'll try to reboot in a few minutes when I finish a thing I'm doing.

all right could you make sure you have .NET 4.6.1 installed ?

https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=49982

.NET Framework 4.6.1 or a later update is already installed on this computer.

Ok, I've solved the installation problem deleting completely the contents of the folder %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps and now I have the splash screen again, but just the splash, for now it's been a minute and it isn't gone yet.

ok, as a last resort could you try this ?

https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=13450

Nothing, I've installed that, and reinstalled EDEngineer afterwards, still stuck in the splash screen.

do you have the icon in the task tray? if yes, could you right click it and click on "Silent Launch", then restart the app?
it should appear as minimized/hidden (depending on if it's unlocked/locked) but you should be able to bring it up

No, no icon.

all right so you'll have to wait for me to look at this in detail tonight, but if you don't want to wait you could try to debug it yourself (you just need VSCommunity and the Windows 8.1 SDK to work on it)

Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry ;)

please try with the new update
it won't fix your problem but you'll get at least an error message

Windows10 x64 ver. 17133.1
until yesterday the program was not confused, and yesterday, about a miracle, the program started and worked perfectly. but after today's update again nothing works, the ClickOnce process hangs in the background and nothing happens.

All right I suspect the new zip file embedded to compress the data is causing these issues... I understand it could be considered suspect by Windows or any AV (it takes a zip file, unzip it, read the json extracted, then delete the zip and the files once the content is in memory) but that saved a few megabytes.

I'm removing that for now, patch is deployed.

Unrecoverable error

should be all right now :)

Nice, it asked where my Journal files were and now started without problems and fast. Thank you.

great!
