Version 3.6 not starting on Windows 10 - GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah GitHub Wiki

Some users are reporting problems with v3.6 build not starting on Windows 10, to avoid this issue it is important to follow the Windows installation notes:

1. Do not install to the same folder as an existing install. Uninstall first if you want to use the same folder or select a different one.
2. Install the vc++ redistributable
3. Reboot before running GoldenCheetah for the first time.

All 3 steps are required.

For other startup issues it can be useful to run GoldenCheetah from the command line in debug mode:

> cd "\Program Files\GoldenCheetah"
> GoldenCheetah --debug

Additional information will be displayed at the launching console and a crash*.log file will be generated in GoldenCheetah data directory, parallel to your athlete folder.
