Since change from Win 7 to Win 8.1 I only get the attached message/Debug log. The program itself doesn't start at all.
This is allways reproducable.

Hello, Jim,
unfortunally no effect. After disabling the SmartScreen, CHIRP doesn't start after showing this message (even after a reboot).

Is your Windows 8.1 user name different than your Windows 7 user name was. You don't have have a "ü" or an "ö" or something similar in your user name, do you?

Hello, Jim,

pity.... yes, I do have :-(
But I didn't pay any attention to this, because the "debug.log" is placed there, so I assuemed that CHIRP can access this folder correctly. Also I did not take the installer but the ZIP-file to avoid those problems...
Is there any way to cheat CHIRP to look for or generate this file in an other folder?

Kai,

See Bug #272

You have a couple of choices...

  1. You could create another user without any special characters to run CHIRP under.
  2. You could use "CHIRP LiveCD":http://sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/

Hello, Jim,
okay I will try CD first. But I think sooner or later I have to create the user.....
