Windows .exe not opening

[ShahriarKh]

I downloaded the latest release & unzipped the file, but I can't open the .exe file.
Win 10 64bit

Thanks for reporting this. Would you be able to give an error message or screenshot of what you're seeing to help debug this?

[ShahriarKh]

Well... actually nothing happens to take a screenshot of it :]
A small window (without title or anything else... just a rectangle with white border) opens for a fraction of a second and closes really quick!

Could you run the .exe from the command prompt? Does that work? Just running C:\path\to\your\doctave.exe --version for example?

Having the same issue on Windows 11, running from command prompt doesn't fix anything. (with --version it just shows the version 0.4.2 on the screen)

That means that it's working. doctave is a CLI application that generates HTML/CSS/JS output, which you open using a webbrowser, no GUI (from doctave, that is) involved.

Thank you for the heads up, it seems I have misunderstood the process. Going through the tutorial again and it is now working as intended.
