GroffStudio under Windows 10?

[porkroast]

Hello! 

I have been looking for a Groff IDE forever-- thank you for your work!  However, I can't make GroffStudio work under Windows 10-- the program won't open after clicking on the .exe file.  I have placed the .dlls in the System and System32 folders, kept the .dlls in the working directory-- I can't figure this out.  Any advice would be much appreciated!  Thanks--

Uh... hi.  Sorry, I missed this thread completely!
It "won't open"? Do you have an anti-virus software that blocks it, maybe?

[porkroast]

Thanks so much for getting back to me!  When I double click on the .exe, I get a minimized icon ("quick start"), and when I hover the mouse over it, I get a blank mini-groffstudio window, and when I click on the minimized icon, nothing happens.  I have "allowed" the program in my Avast AntiVirus/Firewall-- what could I be doing wrong?  Lou

This is a pretty good question, especially as groffstudio does not have a "quick start". 
"Works for me" is probably not a good answer.

Have you restarted your PC recently? Surprisingly, that fixes a lot of things sometimes... if that does not work, we'll have to dig deeper, I'm afraid.

Just restarted the computer, same issue-- forgive me, it's the "Taskbar" where the groffstudio icon is underlined, like any other open program.  But there is no big main window!

Ugh. My icon skills... 

Anyway, I still suspect some "security" software to chime in. Is there anything suspicious in Avast's logs?
Other than that ... which .exe did you download (e.g. where and when)?

(Off for the night - Germany here - time zones - will reply later!)

Again, thanks for your patience and help!  I will scour my computer for offending security software, I will post again tomorrow!  Good night, Lou

Sorry-- "studio-win-0.12.0", downloaded today, unzipped in it's own folder without a groff.exe (hoping to download it through GroffStudio)-- in the folder, there is only the .exe with two .dlls.

If everything else fails, I might try to build a new version from the current sources and attach it here. Not before tomorrow though.

[porkroast]

Hello again-- any luck with a new build?  Thank you--

Could be that the window is outside your screen area.
Press alt-space then m, see if you can't move the window back on screen

[porkroast]

MrHappy,

It worked!  Thank you!  Don't know how I missed this. . .

[Tuxman]

Oh, and thank YOU!
