Eehack not loading

[Bent72]

I believe I'm suffering the similar issues using a windows 10 laptop. This laptop is giving me trouble anyway, and EEHack will not open after the zip files have been extracted

Can anyone confirm if the EEHack will run on a new/newer laptop (one year or less)?
I may just replace this


EDIT: I was able to right click the EEhack in the folder and test for compatibility, then ran it on Windows 8 settings

eehack is built against QT's open source libraries and does not use any windows programming interfaces directly.

this makes it automatically compatible with any version of windows that QT (or rather the version of QT that i built that EEhack release with) supports. currently this is any windows computer running windows 7, 8, or 10

one major reason i use QT to build my software is it will run on anything without me doing extra work

usually if it fails to launch it's a problem with the definition file (which it just crashes if something bad happens), crappy antivirus software (there is ZERO need to have antivirus software with windows 10, it has built in virus protection that's enabled by default) or some other core problem.

for fun try making a new windows 'user', log in as that user and install it there

Yes, this laptop has a core problem! Thank you for the response and clarification. I’m sure someone will happen upon this thread again and know to look at the laptop and not the eehack


Good news is that it launched and hooked up to the car perfect once my side of stuff finally worked. Thanks Steve!
