Yes, I can confirm I get nothing like that from the command line. I get the generic Windows "Program has failed to start". I'll try and get a screenshot later today, but one interesting point - while 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 are giving this error, a 3.x version installed and is working fine on the Windows 8 computer . . .

Pulver Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go Windows Client on Windows 8 Hi James, Can you confirm that you get no further details when you attempt to launch VcXsrv from the command-line? Here's an example of an error I get when launching it from the command line. (In this case, the workaround would be to add specify display :2 because I already have X2Go's VcXsrv instances running on :0 and :1). http://imgur.com/YjPJuJy -Mike#2 On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 2:07 PM, James M.
