Problem on installing SourceTree 2.3.1.0

Hassine ALLAYA

Hello Everyone,

I'm on Windows 10. When i double-click the setup file, the icon of SourceTree is added immediately on my desktop. When i try to open it, nothing happens.

I displayed the logfile, and i find the error message below: 

ERROR [2017-09-28 10:19:44,786] [1] [SourceTree.App] [.ctor] - finish EnsureSquirrelExecutionStubIsCopied

Hello Hassine! This is a known issue, they were talking about it on this thread. To solve it, please navigate to the config file location (C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree.exe_{RANDOM_GUID}\2.3.1.0\user.config) and find the following line:

<setting name="AutomaticallyCleanUpDictionaryFiles" serializeAs="String"> <value>True</value> </setting>

Make sure that value is set to True.

Let us know if that worked for you!

Cheers,Ana
