LMMS Crashes on start.

[LinusEDM]

I saw LMMS today and was introduced to it. I download it being completely intrigued, and it crashes on start.

I get this error: "This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

I can't seem to find a fix, can i get some help?

Welcome to the forum LinusEDM! First, For you, all important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
And a few rules for posting and using the right sub-forum :)

it crashes on start.

Thats unfortunate, but also strange.
Did you get your lmms from our official page?
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... -win32.exe

What i would like you to do first is to do a proper un-install
Then
Delete your current lmms-dl.
Scan your pc for anything 'lmms', and delete it
DL the version i linked to above
Install.

Dont worry, we have up to now, at least always gotten lmms running on win10 :)

Thank you for the reply.


Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem.

The full error says:

Runtime Error! Program: C\Program Files (x86)\LMMS\lmms.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Hope that helps a little more. The error window says Microsoft C++ Runtime Library at the top.

Thanks again.

LMMS should be installed in the regular Programs Directory, not the (x86) one. How are you installing it?

Thank you for the reply.

Ahhh!! Then its the libportaudio, and the sound-devise.
i believe you can fix it by removing the file i describe here:
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=LM ... h_Settings

I am also almost sure that it is the same issue that we have here:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/512
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1173

See if that fixes it. Otherwise i will send you a file, that will 'trick lmms to believe that you have a previous working installation, and that worked last time :p
If i find the link, il will post it here too, but this is fixable :)

[LinusEDM]

Thanks for the reply musikbear.

I looked for the file that you listed and my PC says it can't be found anywhere.

I also looked through all of the Program Files (x86) files of LMMS and could not find any .xml files whatsoever.

I'm currently using the portable version of Lmms 1.1.3 on Win XP.
This might be a stretch, but....
If possible, try the portable version of Lmms 1.1.3, and see if it works, at least for now.
http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/lmms-portable

Tell us if the portable version works.
If however, the same problem occurs, please tell us.

portable.. well njei.. that is not how i like to solve this. We need to understand this better, but first i need to find out where win10 hides the .lmmsrc.xml I hope someone in community knows...

A different type of direct-sound port-audio also exists....
I just want to solve this without that.. file, because its not ours..
But DO try the portable version as Brandy suggest. I dont see it as a real -solution-, because there is no doubt an overhead on CPU usage, so lmms will work less efficient :/

[slipstick]

The .lmmsrc.xml file is in the same place on my Win 10 machine as it is on the older Win 7. I.e. C:/Users/"username"/.lmmsrc.xml

NOTE: it's at the top level NOT in the C:/Users/"username"/lmms folder which is my LMMS working directory. But they are both using the 64 bit version. I don't know if the 32 bit version does anything different though I can't think of any reason why it would.

Yop, i have also two confirmations on this from an other topic and
@LinusEDM
Here is what we will do:
Take THIS in the code-box and copy that to a code-editor

!! NOT 'Word' or any other text-editor! !!

Maby you can use note-pad..

Code: Select all

 
 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE lmms-config-file>
<lmms version="1.1.3">
  <app nomsgaftersetup="0" displaydbv="0" nommpz="1" configured="1"/>
  <audioportaudio backend="MME" device="Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input"/>
  <audiosdl device=""/>
  <mixer framesperaudiobuffer="6400" hqaudio="1" audiodev="SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)" mididev="WinMM MIDI"/>
  <recentfiles>
  </recentfiles>
</lmms>

Now install lmms again
Then go to
C:/Users/"username"/
And locate the new
.lmmsrc.xml
If it is still not there:
Take the code from my codebox and rename it .lmmsrc.xml

OBSERVE THE DOT!! YOU MUST HAVE THAT!

Then copy it to C:/Users/"username"/
Start LMMS

IF there IS a new .lmmsrc.xml
MOVE! that file to a different folder!
Take the code from my codebox and rename it .lmmsrc.xml
Then copy it to C:/Users/"username"/
Start LMMS

Please tell us if it worked :)
