SourceTree 2.3.1.0 fails to start on Windows 10

I've tried uninstalling, deleting all folders in AppData\Local\Atlassian\ & AppData\Local\SourceTree* and reinstalling.

Here's the error:

ERROR [2017-09-21 09:52:45,165] [1] [SourceTree.App] [.ctor] - finish EnsureSquirrelExecutionStubIsCopied

Also tried deleting TEMP folder and rebooting.

Running Windows 10 Version 1703 (Build 15063)

I had this exact same issue with the exact same exception. I had to go back to version 2.1.2.5 after uninstalling and clearing out all of the AppData folders.

Hi everyone! As an update for this topic, we have just started the progressive rollout of Sourcetree v2.3.5.0 which includes a fix for this issue. You should be prompted to upgrade sometime over the next 14 days or, alternatively, you can download the update directly from https://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/ga/SourceTreeSetup-2.3.5.0.exe

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the update Ana! 2.3.5.0 fixed the problem for me.

The latest update has corrupted the user.config file:

ERROR [2017-10-24 11:12:04,950] [1] [SourceTree.App] [SetStartupJIT] - Startup JIT encountered an error...

Basically about 12 lines down in the user.config file the config ends with a row of nulls.

I fixed this by copying the contents of a user.config file from a previous version and replacing it.

Atlassian do you do any QA before you drop a release, like the time the popup modal test was rolled out as an option in the view menu and it would display 50 test popups?
