Totally new to KStars. I just setup an Astroberry which appears to work great in my living room connected to my equipment. I just found out about the Windows version which from what I gather, allows me to use Astroberry as a server so that my PC can do some of the heavy lifting in Ekos versus using VNC to the Pi (which works).

Anyway, Ive installed and uninstalled it a few times. Ran as administrator. Tried various compatibility modes (which rarely works for anything). Rebooted in between uninstalls and after reinstalls. Im not able to get past the splash screen. It gets to the point where is says - Loading constellation boundaries 100% - then nothing.

I have noticed that dbus-daemon.exe is actually running when I go to uninstall the software.

I believe this is the correct forum but if not please let me know. Ive done a few google searches but havent really found anything related other than someone else having a similar issue but they were running Linux and a reinstall solved their issue.

Let me know if more information is needed or if Im in the wrong place.

Thanks!

Just a quick reply. I tried this on my Microsoft Surface 6 Pro which is running Windows 11 Home 21H2 and it gets the same exact error, exception code, offset, etc.

I just updated KStars 3.6.0 from today's build. Please try to download again from KStars website and see if it makes any difference.

It opens up now. Thank you!
