What issue do you have?

Joplin failing to start - error

Screenshots

It seems you're using windows 7. If so, check out this post

Unfortunately, that suggestion has not helped. Same error :frowning_face:

If you already installed vxkex try running Joplin through vxkexldr.exe by adjusting the paths in its shortcut properties as following [^1]

"C:\Program Files\VxKex\VxKexLdr.exe" "C:\Program Files\Joplin\Joplin.exe"

Adjust your paths if you have it different

Done. "C:\Program Files\VxKex\VxKexLdr.exe" "C:\Program Files\Joplin\Joplin.exe" which matches the install paths for VxKex and Joplin.

New error:

Which does not make sense. Where is it getting that path from?

Are you sure about Program Files (x86) / Program Files? Check the location of Vxkexldr.exe manually.

Last possible solution is to roll back to 2.12 of Joplin since it's the last supported version on Windows 7

Version 2.12.18 installed and working. Thanks for all the help.
