I installed 2.6.0.4189 using the Windows installer on Win7-x86. This is an upgrade install over 2.5.3.4075 (also from the Windows installer). I have a project that automatically loads on program launch. I had used 4189 some yesterday and quit the program. This morning when I started CodeLite it stopped with the hourglass and eventually Windows reported it as Not Responding. I killed it off and tried again - same thing.
I re-installed 2.5.3.4075. CodeLite now launches ok and the project comes up.
If I can provide any config or project files - let me know.

Re: Hang on launch
Can u do this:
- Re-install 2.6.0
- Delete the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite\config\codelite.xml
- Start codelite
Open your workspace now - does it help?

Re: Hang on launch
i gave that a try and it succeeded in preventing the hang on launch and also reloaded my project;
however i will have to merge the old file to restore previous settings.
i've noticed that the location of codelite.xml is not where you suggested;
looking in CodeLite Explorer it shows up at C:\Program Files\CodeLite\config however if you open that folder with Windows Explorer it isn't there.
codelite.xml is actually at C:\Users\stanm\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\CodeLite\config\codelite.xml.
this appears to be UAC virtualization which prevents a standard user from writing to folders under C:\Program Files\CodeLite
and creates the VirtualStore entry to add the file and allow read/write access.
there are other files and folders under C:\Users\stanm\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\CodeLite and i wonder if a
fresh install is recommended
also is the uninstaller aware of the files under the VirtualStore and remove them?
thanks,

Re: Hang on launch
In the next release, I will move all users settings to the user's data section (similar to ~/.codelite under linux)
so it wont be a problem
