Deluge doesn't work after possibly unrelated error

Post by Cthanatos »

So I've had Deluge and YaRSS2 working flawlessly on their own for almost a year, but about a week or two ago, I saw an error popup with the Python logo and I accidentally closed it before closer inspection (using teamviewer via mobile). Now when I try to start Deluge all I get is this error -

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Deluge and Python several times, I've look through the registry to see if the uninstall missed anything, but I still get this error. I thought it might have something to do with OpenDNS despite them working together fine for a long time. Is there a log I can upload for further info, or does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

PS - I installed Deluge on another computer (not my media server) on our network, and tested a download and it works fine. My server is on 24/7 so it makes it ideal to use for downloads.

What error are you talking about? I don't see one.

Sorry, the unrelated error I don't have a screenshot, but can you see the picture with the red dot on the connection manager? I have no idea what to do with that as it doesn't show up on the install for the other computer.

Are you intending to use Deluge in thinclient mode if not tick classic mode in preferences

The red dot indicates that the client is not connected to the daemon. Press the Start Daemon button. Also, open the options and make sensible choices there. Verify that your deluged starts automatically on the machine that is running on.

You'll need to explain exactly which deluge package(s) you installed on what OS(s) and what platform(s) you are running on.

I'm using Windows 10 , the install package I used was "deluge-1.3.12-win32-py2.7" . I have Python 2.7 installed. The exact same install file went without a hitch on a different computer (Windows 7). I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times.

Problem Solved! I did a search for Deluge core Errors on windows and came across this post http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?t=52469 which explained that the Visual C++ install for 64bit screws with the 32bit install that deluge needs. I reinstalled the x86 version and everything works again fine. Thanks! I hope this helps somebody else! Here is the link to get the Visual C++ redist files from Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa ... x?id=40784
