Anybody install Version 5.1 on Windows 10?
« on: March 25, 2025, 10:53:01 am »
I've been using Version 4.37 for a while now.  Was thinking of installing the latest upgrade, version 5.1.


But on the DIYLC forum I saw this


DIY Creator 5.0.0 (64bit) fails to start on Windows 10 · Issue #898 · bancika/diy-layout-creator


I know Windows 10 is going away and I need to upgrade, but that will require a new computer and a bunch of time to migrate everything.  So I'm still on Windows 10 for another month or 2


Can anybody shed any light on Windows 10 operation with the latest DIYLC version?


Thank you

I don't know what they mean by fails to start on windows 10?
I have installed 5.0 and 5.1 on windows 11 without any issues.
One thing I always do when installing a new version is make a backup copy of my config file
C:\Users\your user name here\diylc\config.xml
Just give a try and see what happens
