To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

I reinstalled it in the non default location (F:/ vvvv_gamma_2021.4.0-0327) and it started without an issue. Also I never had the directory which is indicated in the log (D:\Documents\dev\vvvv\libraries)

3

hey there,

may I ask how you are starting vvvv? are you using gammalauncher? because it looks like vvvv is started with a --package-repositories argument that points to a folder that does not exist on your machine, and the aforementioned folder is gammalauncher’s default value for --package-repositories.

4

Indeed I tried to install and start it with the launcher

5

Then you should either untick the Use Repos toggle if you don’t need that feature, or edit the settings file that sits next to the launcher (press CTRL + , with the launcher focused) and set a valid path for PackageReposFolder.

Weird thing is that GammaLauncher should check if the provided package-repositories path exists before attempting to launch vvvv to avoid that nasty exception you just saw, will investigate.

reminder for myself: i guess next updates will store this settings file in AppData rather than next to the exe, that way people wouldn’t have to backup their settings when updating the app, and the app would not ship with my own defaults anymore :p

6

I also noticed that the launcher doesn’t show vvvv version installed in the non standard location and if I click “Use repos” it simply toggles the feature, but if I hit the Repos button it says that they do not exist.I’m on the latest binary version from github.

7

Aaaah right, this is what it was checking :p I knew it had a check for the existence of package repositories somewhere. I will add that that check before attempting to start vvvv, should have been there already…

Regarding non-standard vvvv locations, you can provide your own in the settings file, just set VVVVInstallationsFolder accordingly. The launcher will then look for vvvv installations in that folder.

8

thanks I’ll try that
