Source Tree for Windows does not start

[Nadav Maimon]

It might have something to do with the Date and Time, check if you've got the correct time and date.

I still can't install on Windows 7!

[Thomas Beck]

+1 for windows 7

Same for me all the described workarounds do not solve my installation problems.

[fpaivinha]

Yes, I also still didn't find a solution. I just gave up and moved to the Github app.

[Daniel Santana]

For me it crashed after uninstalling git and installing a version suggested by application (windows 10 64bits). Solution: uninstalled everything (using iobit uninstaller), restarted windows, installed last git and then reinstalled Source Tree. Now it is working good.

Hope it helps somehow.

This morning, I had the same issue as everyone else. It is a very strange issue. On windows 10, I followed everyone's suggestions from deleted temp files, to uninstalling, repair, modify, reinstall etc, but nothing worked until I deleted the funky folder name in the AppData folder. That actually worked.

The problem might have to do with the bookmarks maybe? Here  is what I found in my error logs:

HI

I installed the sourcetree that install successfully.

when open source tree then it popup massage : http://prntscr.com/9t7cho

i all ready install .net framwork.

please suggest me what issue.

Thanks in Advance

[msillence]

I uninstalled .net 4.5 and reinstalled .net 4.5

Then it started but was unstable so I uninstalled and reinstalled source tree...

I suspect the dependency installer on sourcetree isn't working correctly or that version doesn't work as source tree installed .net when I ran it's installer. Also another .net app that I tried before the reinstall wouldn't work.

I am having this problem with Windows 7 Professional

I have tried all the above and it still doesn't work.

[ex-jedi]

Some others have suggested it's a temp files issue. So I Ran CCleaner and that solved it for me.

Same Source Tree not starting up, after restart same. (from the last update)


Operating System - Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

[stevestreeting]

This thread and the log is something that could happen with the old ClickOnce installer - if you have a version later than 0.9.4 this could not be the issue you're having. Please can you check sourcetree.log which is in %USER%\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree - if there's a mention in there about an error loading the configuration, then please delete or move the contents of %USER%\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree.exe_<longhash> (there should be a number of subdirectories named after versions). This will lose your settings but not your bookmarks. I've seen this problem with a couple of other people after they applied a .Net update on Windows 8, but I haven't been able to reproduce it and it doesn't seem to happen for most people.

[Andy Rose]

FYI, I have just suffered this exact same error after having used SourceTree at home and work for the last month without issue. The only change I have made recently is to import the license file on home desktop, this was already set up on my work desktop.

I will follow your suggestion above.
