Desktop app error?

hs6666 · 11 June 2021 05:10

Hello

just installed joplin desktop on windows 10 32bit

install went ok, but when I open the app ... nothing ... checked the windows application and system logs, nothing in there either...

Tried installing for "allusers" and "current user", made no difference

Can't enable debugging (How to enable debugging | Joplin) as can't find a profile directory anywhere on disk?

When I run joplin.exe in command prompt from containing folder, get.... "'joplin' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

portable app, same nothing starts up...

Thanks

harry

@hs6666 welcome to the forum.

This recent post suggests there may currently be something wrong with the build process when it comes to 32-bit.

The GitHub issue refrred to above is

github.com/laurent22/joplin

Doesn't work on Windows 32-bit

I'm aware that Windows7 is end of life and probably not supported anymore, but I… have no saying in this, I have it at work. I installed a normal version for one user, which didn't require admin access, great. Launching joplin doesn't do anything visible, but it spawns 4 joplin.exe processes in the background. Launching it again opens an empty window, with basic, but also empty menu (File-Exit, and so on, nothing actionable). This window is not possible to close (titlebar button UI doesn't react), it has to be force closed with task manager. I tried portable version. Launching exe causes 4 joplin.exe process to show up plus joplinportable.exe and again, no window. Launching it again, shows second joplinportable.exe and empty window as shown above, that again is not possible to close by usual means. There is no error messages or anything suggesting what to do. Computer was restarted after joplin installation. Linux version works like a charm, but Windows counterpart failed a big time :(. Without full multi-system support, the whole app usage is in question. There is no browser access to my notes so basically I have no notes at work.
