<p>We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.</p>
<p>Could you try removing the extension Moneyforesight?<br>
To do so, you should navigate to <strong>Local Disk (C:)>Users>Yourname>.moneydance>fmodules</strong>. Then select Moneyforesight and delete it.</p>
<p>You may want to reboot your computer after that and try to launch Moneydance again.</p>

Unfortunately neither of your suggestions worked.</p>
<p>Maddy,<br>
Again I installed Moneydance 2022.1 build 4059 Windows 32-bit over a working build 4058.<br>
I checked the fmodules folder prior to the installation and there was no Moneyforesight extension present. Only findandreplace and updater.<br>
After installing build 4059 but before 1st run again the Moneyforesight extension was not in the fmodules folder.<br>
Ran the program for the first time and it failed to start.</p>
<p>Stuart,<br>
I did the manual edit of config.dict as you suggested. The program still did not start.<br>
Sidenote: Before I posted my first message yesterday I did rename config.dict. The program created a new one but still did not start.</p>
<p>I am attaching a newly created errorlog.txt file generated after following Stuart's suggestions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>FuzzyJohntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494566392021-10-27T12:50:48Z2021-10-27T12:50:48ZMoneydance 2022.1 (4059) Will Not Start (SOLVED)<div><p>I tried installing build 4059 in a clean Windows 7 32-bit VM (as a first time install) with the same result of not starting.<br>

I guess that for now, maybe until the next build, I'll stick with build 4058.

This worked with all past builds since I started using Moneydance.<br>
This VM runs on a QNAP TS-451+ NAS under Virtualization Station. The QNAP NAS emulates the Intel Core i7 (Nehalem Class Core i7). The QNAP NAS supports both 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems and never had a problem so far. The only thing is, as I mentioned, the 64-bit OS runs a little slower than the 32-bit OS, so if I have a choice I use 32-bit.<br>
I mentioned in my previous message that I had tried installing the 32-bit package under the 64-bit Windows 7. While the installation completed, the 32-bit Moneydance did not start in 64-bit Windows 7. It should have but it didn't. The 64-bit package installed in 64-bit Windows 7 and runs OK.</p>
<p>To make matters a little more muddy than they are I also tried the 32-bit Moneydance package in my Windows 11 Hyper-V with a 32-bit Windows 7 installation. Same result... did not start.</p>
<p>In all these configurations Moneydance build 4058 and earlier (32-bit package) always worked. So I guess the problem is what changed from build 4058 to build 4059 in the 32-bit package. The biggest change as it looks to me, is Java 17.</p></div>FuzzyJohntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494566392021-10-27T20:25:01Z2021-10-27T20:25:01ZMoneydance 2022.1 (4059) Will Not Start (SOLVED)<div><p>Hi John,</p>
<p>Would it be possible to try running Moneydance from a command prompt, passing the -d parameters? Can you open a command prompt (usually by clicking the Start button and typing "cmd" and then pressing return) and type the following two lines?<br></p>
<pre>
<code>cd "c:\Program Files\Moneydance"
Moneydance.exe -d</code>
</pre>
<p>That should print extra debugging information directly to the command prompt window that you can hopefully copy and paste or screen shot into a response?</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

<p>Tried what you asked and nothing happens. Here is a screenshot of the command prompt window after I run the moneydance.exe -d command. This is under Windows 7 32-bit with the 32-bit package of Moneydance 4059 installed. The Moneydance application did not start.</p>
<p>As a test I reset the Windows 7 32-bit VM and I installed the 32-bit package of Moneydance 4058. The I ran the moneydance.exe -d command and the command prompt window behaved the same way as with build 4059. There was no extra debug information showing in the command prompt window. However with the 4058 package the Moneydance application started and took me thru the first time run steps.</p></div>FuzzyJohntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494566392021-10-27T21:03:10Z2021-10-27T21:03:10ZMoneydance 2022.1 (4059) Will Not Start (SOLVED)<div><p>Hi John,</p>
<p>OK, I forgot that moneydance detaches from the command line when running on windows, so I shouldn't have expected any output there.</p>
<p>When you say you're running in a VM, is there a reason for that? Would it be possible to run moneydance outside of the VM?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>As I mentioned in the other posts Moneydance 64-bit build 4059 will run on Windows 7 64-bit and on Linux Ubuntu 64-bit. It is only Moneydance 32-bit build 4059 that does not run on either Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit. And that is only build 4059. Builds 4058 and earlier back to Moneydance 2020 have no problem running on Windows 7 32-bit.</p></div>FuzzyJohntag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494566392021-10-27T21:25:55Z2021-10-27T21:25:55ZMoneydance 2022.1 (4059) Will Not Start (SOLVED)<div><p>Hi Sean,</p>
