SourceTree crashes on startup, System.InvalidOperationException.

Hi.

There is a problem with my copy of sourcetree. It starts only once after clean install. After it's closed and I try to restart it, the process is terminated almost immediately and I get this log message:

ERROR [2017-08-01 13:30:57,276] [1] [SourceTree.App] [OnStartup] - Failed to start

any ideas, please?

Hi Michał, looks like you're affected by this bug SRCTREEWIN-7373.

Please, download and install the latest Git-LFS version from https://git-lfs.github.com/. This will re-install Git-LFS and should ensure SourceTree can find it.

Let us know if this worked for you! If you are still experiencing issues after this, remember to provide which Windows version are you using so we can continue helping you.

Cheers,

Ana

Hi Ana, thank you for your help.

IT WORKED. I cannot express in any concise way, what a relief and good news this is. After following your instructions sourcetree started without any problems and works stable. Oh, and I was using Windows 10 Pro(x64).

Once again, thank you for great support.
Cheers,

Michał
