@jonas Hmm...
After checking that everything's up to date, and using the MSVC installer (which I believe I had previous), Strawberry is up and running once more. Even remembers which files I had in my playlist!
Thanks for your timely suggestions and forbearance! I truly appreciate it.
Greetings! This is, well, I'm a bit embarrassed to be asking this, but better be a fool for five minutes than forever, right?
So, here's the situation. I've used Strawberry for some time now, been very happy with how it went, DID happen to skip several updates simply because I couldn't be bothered.
When I attempted to download and install the latest, however, it was repeatedly flagged by my antivirus software. And while I've negotiated that issue with some programs in the past, the installation then proceeded to fail to extract/read a number of vital files. After giving up and pressing Ignore a lot, the program SEEMED to have installed, but failed to run properly because of missing files.
For context, I'm running Windows 11 (ugh i know right), on a ROG Strix G15CK (Intel i7-10700KF processor), and I've had pretty much the same failed result from every available Setup file (which I downloaded from https://www.patreon.com/posts/strawberry-1-2-144341548 )
And like I said, I'm happy to be laughed at or be pointed to an obvious answer so long as I do get to use Strawberry again ^^
So what do we think? Any suggestions, or do you need additional info from me?
