Deluge 1.3.0_RC1 Fails to run

[trektorrents]

This is common in Windows Ports, installs clean, runs... but fails to actually run, and the *.exe files disappear from the Task Manager after a second or two.

Often, the solution has been to uninstall, and uninstall the GTK Runtime, and remove all material from the appdata folders, reboot, reinstall and reboot.

But, this time, no love for deluge on Windows Vista Home Premium.

I have:

Installed.

Uninstalled and Installed.

Uninstalled, Uninstalled GTK and Installed (and Installed GTK when prompted.)

Uninstalled, rebooted, installed (and installed GTK when asked) and rebooted... no luck. Appdata removed each time.


Any other info you need?

Any other info you need?

Log messages might help narrow it down, I have 1.3rc1 running on Server 2003 32, Vista home premium 32, and Windows 7 64, so it's not just a general Windows problem. (Did you try removing any gtk folders under program files after uninstalling it?)

Uninstall GTK.

Reinstall GTK from this source:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-wi ... e?download

Works for me. Had same problem with 1.2, and now 1.3 as well. Windows 7 x64.

Never had this issue before with Deluge... until I uninstalled the old Deluge 1.1.7 (old!) to this new Deluge 1.3.0_RC1.

And that's it. The problem starts. It just fails to run, or show its interface. The command prompt window briefly appears but that's it.

What I remember doing is uninstalling Deluge 1.1.7 and GTK. It must be an old GTK version. I installed Deluge 1.3.0_RC1 with the option to install GTK. Once every was completed, Deluge refuses to start. Restarting the computer, still nothing.

Then I read around that I had to uninstall GTK "properly". I went ahead and uninstalled it along with the AppData folder (and also as shown in Deluge FAQ). Did it for both Deluge and GTK. Re-installed, along with GTK, restarted and...

Still fails to run.

Gosh... !! I don't know what else to do.

Edit: Wow. Totally given up trying. Spent over 6 hours installing, uninstalling, rebooting, still nothing. Installed the original GTK 2.12 + Deluge 1.1.7, not working. So that's it. My torrent downloading stops here... I could use other clients, but I don't understand why a software such as Deluge that is being released for Windows has such an issue!

Now I can't get my original 1.1.7 to work.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. I actually installed Deluge 1.3.0_RC1 on another old computer. It installed and ran perfectly.

There has to be a solution to this.

Edit:
From 6pm until 3.30am.... tried. Every solution I could possibly do. I cannot believe it. Deluge is gone, even the older versions.

Same thing happened to me. Installed new version on Vista Home Premium and nothing comes up now. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times and now none of the versions work including the one I was just using before update.

Just got done bragging about how sweet my download speeds are and now I'm back to turtle speeds on Vuze since Deluge no longer works.

It's really hard to figure out what is wrong if you don't look at the log. See if you can figure it out based on that, or post a debug log and someone may be better able to help.

The same is happening to me. I think it is related to UAC. Deluge uses a batch files to launch, but UAC does not prompt for permission to execute batch files. Observe the difference:

Running deluge.exe from a "regular" command prompt fails with this output to stdout:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\Deluge-Python>deluge.exe

But running deluge.exe from an elevated command prompt succeeds with this output to stdout:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\Deluge-Python>deluge.exe
c:\program files (x86)\deluge\deluge-python\deluge-1.3.0_rc1-py2.6.egg\deluge\ui

lbar API is not allowed

This happens even if I run these commands from an account with administrator rights, which is to be expected with UAC. Because disabling UAC requires a reboot, which I cannot do at this time, I'll check that behaviour elsewhen.
