Hello John,
until now I was using REW 5.19 and very happy with it. So I wanted to change to 5.20.14 but had problems to install. Then I tried to install versions before and found that all of them beginning with 5.20.x make problems. I normally only get an empty window and nothing else happens. But a few times I was able to install with REW_windows-x64_5_20_14ea35.exe. In that cases it started at the end and I could use it very well. But when I close it and try to start again with the button on the desktop the window with the REW logo tells that it is starting. But nothing else happens. Strange thing is that I cannot uninstall those programs. In the startlist now I habe three REW icons and uninstallation is not possible. The routine does not proceed as usually and hangs up. Tools like CCleaner do not help. Deactivating virusprotect also not. With REW_windows-x64_5_19.exe I can install and uninstall without any problems.
I use Windows 10, my Java version is:
C:\Users\KL>java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)
I found some logfiles in different directories (files.log, installation.log, rew_output.txt ) from installation. But I do not understand them.
Is there a logfile when REW ist started? And very odd is that on another PC REW_windows-x64_5_20_14ea35.exe works without problems. So my machine seems to be the reason. But I want to avoid to set it up new
Thank you very much and best regards
Josef
