Jed,
Unfortunately this version is "silent crashing" on my end, never happened
before on previous versions, so I suspect it's unlikely user-error. I
realize you aren't as easily able to debug Windows, so I'll give as much
detail as I can. Here are the details:
- I'm using the BobWin.exe file from your link above - so 64-bit Windows
- I've tried on two different, but similar machines - both HP Laptops
Windows 10 64-bit
- All previous versions of BobWin.exe that I've tried work fine -
including the latest release 1.60
What I'm doing:
- Opening the BobWin.exe normally
- Going past the initial Windows "this is unsafe" warning - using "run
anyways" as I always do
- Going past the Symantec "this file is unproven" warning - using "allow
this file" as I always do
- Normally then the terminal screen comes up, and then the browser pops
open. Now, nothing
- Looking at the running programs, it looks like Node.js opens, then
just closes silently
- I tried taking a screengrab in case it's useful

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help - thanks for
your efforts as always!
