Can you elaborate on how it does not work? Is there any error message or anything?

Could you open a terminal (cmd.exe) and run `\path\to\geany\bin\geany.exe --verbose`? This should start Geany with another terminal window opening, hopefully you can see anything useful in there before it crashes.

Also, try to disable all plugins (either by editing geany.conf directly or by renaming the plugins folder in the installation path).

In 1.30 there were no relevant changes as far as I remember which could cause the crash. So I assume it could be caused some GTK or other dependency library update.

 This is the notification on windows 7 (x64). The terminal show nothing, no other terminal window opening.

I can't find the config file geany.conf. But when I try geany.exe -p --verbose, I got the same result.

@codebrainz , I tried using the command `C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\geany.exe" -v -c . --ver bose`, where the current directory is my desktop folder and has no conf file. Then I got the same result.

The system PATH variable: `C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;%JAVA_HOME%;%GIT%;%ADB%;%ANDROID_HOME%;C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs;C:\tools\python2;C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\git\cmd;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone;.;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\GTK2-Runtime\bin`

I don't think it is a conflict. Because I ran geany on 3 computer, with windows 7 x64, windows 8.1 x64, windows 10 x64, and got the same result.

I wonder if it's something you are running on each computer though. A lot of people use Geany on all those platforms (myself with existing and clean installs on win7 and win10) without this issue, though I'm not sure what's causing your problem.

I have had exactly the same experience as @DiepEsc . Geany 1.30 will not run on either of my two Win 7 64 bit machines. No trouble with 1.29

@kugel- I tried: geany.exe -p geany.exe --verbose geany.exe -p --verbose geany.exe -v -c "C:\ ..." Renamed geany.conf

Geany starts (as seen in processes), its memory usage increases until it crashes but it never opens. No error messages.

My current Path (after playing around with other GTK versions) is:

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client;C:\Program Files (x86)\Lithnet\Lithnet.MpUpdate;C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Apps Sync;%systemroot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\Calibre2;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:\Program Files\GTK2-Runtime Win64\bin

(This path was working o'k with Geany 1.29)

@codebrainz - I uninstalled GTK2-Runtime Win64 and it was removed from PATH . I reinstalled Geany 1.30.1 (after working with 1.29 last night) - again the process starts but fails (with and without plugins)

No error messages, but did notice that the Windows error reporting runs briefly as a process just before Geany fails.

Sorry @kugel- I had overlooked that! Have done that now and I'm afraid it hasn't made any difference. It must be a local issue or there would be many more reports of this problem. I'm happy to use 1.29 on my laptop and 1.31 on my Linux desktop.

@colrose is this still a problem with 1.33?

Closed #1454.
