I followed the directions here: http://ird.cash/update-to-new-gui-wallet/ - So I made a backup of %AppData%/iridium and then deleted the folder. I then went on to install the new v2.1.2.buildba6223a wallet and that went fine. When I start the application it crashes without any errors. In the Windows event-log I see this:
Program: Iridium_Wallet.exe
File:
Notice that "File: " is empty... so I don't know which file is missing.
may be an idea : In the application folder (program files, iridium...), you will find vcredist_x64.exe
install it, it's the microsoft c++ runtime, may be you have not it in your system or maybe your simply not on a 64bits version, in that case, I can't do better now, the db lib is 64bit only.
I already tried installing it, but I already had it installed. The runtime installer offered to repair which I did, but the problem persists.
I have installed on another Windows 8 box, and it is working fine there. I wonder if the problem could have something to do with previous installations of Iridium?
