Hi @moneil,
I’ve tested using the latest installer from the download page (Set Up Your odrive) on a fresh Windows 10 and Windows 11 installation and they both started-up with no issues. We also haven’t had any other reports of this issue after thousands of downloads of the latest version.
It sounds like there is something specific to your environment that is triggering this.
Something I experimented with was just removing the mfc and msvc files in C:\Program Files\odrive. I have some more testing to do, but these files may no longer be needed in the installation. After removing the application still starts-up without any issues. Maybe you can give this a shot?
To do so remove the following 11 items from C:\Program Files\odrive:
- Remove all of the mfc* files dated 6/11/2015 (there are 4 items)
- Remove all of the msvc* files dated 6/11/2015 (there are 3 items)
- Remove the Microsoft.VC* files and folders (there are 4 items)
I am hoping that this may eliminate whatever environment conflict is being encountered on your systems.
If that doesn’t work, there are some other possible fixes that are discussed in the following links:
