Eagle 8.0 first launch fail

[Anonymous]

Hi

I download and install Eagle without problems. However, I can not run for the first time the software

[Anonymous]

I wish at least I was able to log in. As soon the app tried to show the login window crash. I going to change my windows user and reinstall to see if there is a problem with the name of the windows user.

[Anonymous]

The test that i had run:

Change my windows user to avoid any space(fail)

I had an SSD for my OS I install directly to it C:/eagle/( fail)

I install directly to my secondary hard drive D:/eagle/(fail)

Uninstall my antivirus ( fail)

disconnect all security measure: fail

Lan connection directly to fibre optic modem: fail

know I ask myself: why Autodesk Eagle didn't use the usual Autodesk setup interface?

why does eagle keep using tmp files to install himself?(most corporative antivirus do not allow this)

why there is not a log file to check for errors?

I have the same problem on two different machines both with Windows 10 OS, tried all the above suggestions in vain. Version 7.7 of Cadsoft eagle was working well on both machines...Please find a solution for this bug...

Hi Wargo123, Hi issam_isl,

We are working on this. We will have a new update coming shortly that should address these issues. If these problems continue, then I would like to ask if someone could post a screencast of them installing the software.

I'll check in again once the update has been released, which should be near the end of this week early next at the latest.

Best Regards,

I'm going to join the party here.

Windows 8, fresh install of Eagle 8.0 to default C:\Eagle 8.0. When program starts for the first time from the installers "run program", or from the usual desktop shortcut I get the above "Eagle.exe has stopped working". I don't even get to any email log in pages or anything, just the splash startup screen then error prompt. 

I have tried:

Windows 7 compatibility mode,

Run as administrator,

Don't have any firewalls,

Don't have any antivirus,

On a home router, no corporate firewalls or anything.

Fusion 360 works fine. 

Thanks! (I really need this to work for a College assignment by-the-way!)

First, Welcome

did you try to delete the space in the default directory? "C:/Eagle8.0"

[Anonymous]

Hi Wilmer, yes I just tried that on a fresh install after a reboot. Same thing.

Thanks though.

[Anonymous]

The default directory has been deleted !

I also faced with this issue. Win7 x64.

Same here. Installed Eagle 8.0 for the first time (have never used Eagle before..), and it immediately crashes when the splash screen says 'Opening login window...'. Reinstalling to a path without spaces does not help.

It might be relevant, as I've seen earlier in this thread, that my Windows user account is a Microsoft (online) account rather than a local / domain account. I'll have a go at installing it for a local user and report back whether that did any good.

Edit: It didn't. Made a local account, tried starting Eagle and it still crashes at the same moment in the startup process.

I guess I'll try to find Eagle 7.7 and see if that works..

Eagle 7.7 still works fine (Win7 x64).

Same problem here. I'm curious as to why this is marked as solved; as far as I can tell there is no solution in this thread except a pending software update no?

[Anonymous]

That is an error o the forum as anyone can mark a  question as answered...It should be only the initial person.

[Anonymous]

I guess we're waiting for an update. 

I'm just spending a LOT more time at the university library using Proteus instead. Sorry Autodesk 

[jorge_garcia]

Hi Wilmer,

Just got solution spammed, there's a forum user(s) who is jumping on threads and marking every post as a solution.

The update will be releasing shortly. Just thought of something else. Is anyone on this thread using Radeon video cards? If you are, then try updating your video drivers. I saw another thread where this solved the problem.

Can anyone confirm?

Best Regards,

Hi, not in my case.

I am running in a laptop with GeForce GTX 960M and intel GPU i7.

I am going to check if my double GPU is causing troubles...

[Anonymous]

I'm still getting this issue with the 8.0.1 release

[Anonymous]

I just tried the new version under W10: Always the same problem. Eagle stops when launching the login window!

For me it seemed to be a problem with the virtual box guest extensions, when removing those i was able to sign in (and tick stay signed in). I can now use it (with guest additions installed as well)
