Problem to run cava-packager application
Yona Eilat
Hi,
I successfully work for a while with Cava-Packger.
As of today I cannot run the application and get the start screen! only the icon appears at the windows down but the application doesn't start.
I restart my PC and the problem still exist.
Please advice.
Thanks

Sounds bad.
If the icon is appearing then all of the application is loading but
clearly it is hanging before displaying anything.
There are two things Cava may do on startup.
First, you may recall that Cava was formerly a subscription app. What
was meant to happen when your subscription ran out was that you get a
nice friendly message telling you to renew.
When making the app none subscription, I simply substituted this loading
code for some code that loads a dummy subscription - that is always
valid. Perhaps I did this badly and this is where the issue is.
Secondly, Cava may check for rule updates automatically, if that's what
your setting is. This should not block if it fails, but maybe it is.
If you would, I would like you to two things first, in the following order.
1) Download the latest Cava Packager from web site and install to a
different location. See if this will start. (You don't need this step if
you already have the latest)
2) If this fails, then we can try deleting any old style subscription
file that you may have.
Your subs files should be in the folder:
C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\cava\data
The file names are guids followed by the '.lic' suffix.
Delete them all - they are not needed.
Cava will just create a new valid file if it finds none.
Let me know if Cava starts then.
Regards
Mark

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I need to clean up the subscription
code properly. It is still in there because it provides a 'unique' keys
that at some point I want to expose for end user usage so you can create
'plugins' and decide that you only want to allow them to work with apps
packed with the same key. I just need to add an interface option to
allow user to create and export / import a key so many users / machine
can share the same. And, of course, allow creation of 'plugins' :-)
For the future.
