Hi so the disabling of the boot screen is fine however I am on the latest version of windows and mine runs fine.

Might be something else.

Mind giving me you're pc specs.
P.s. do you have a sound card ?

I do not have a sound card, and i cant find logs for your program, it appears the video file just never starts, when disabling the video file by default it seems work fine.

Id rather add a check (if possible) for the bootscreen than just remove it completely as thats not a fix for rhe issue at hand

[GarnetSunset]

why not a config file where it can be set prior to running?

Cause most people are not very computer literate so we need to make it as seamless as possible

That's true, I'm not sure how to debug it, as A. I'm not a C based programmer and B. there isn't a debug log i can find

Can confirm the following worked to fix the white screen for me.

<setting name="EnableBootScreen" serializeAs="String"> <value>False</value> </setting>

Note, i'm on a Mac using windows 10 via parallels and the only way i was able to get this to run was to use the setup.exe file from the v1.0 release and then manually trackdown the exe config file and update it.

Some further details:

• Running the lastest debug release and executing the .exe directly lead to app closing after a couple of seconds and if quickly clicking through initial options it also triggered the ps2.mp4 file not found
• Running the lasted debug release .application file lead to lots of *.deploy files not found.
• Running the v1 .application file installed v1.0.0.3 succesfully but couldn't update
• Running the v1 setup.exe file allowed me to install the lasted version 1.0.0.28 and through tracking down the source exe from the app reference i was able to manually adjust the config file and bypass the whitescreen.

This is my first install, and i haven't had a chance to test functionality as yet.
