Unable to run Windows release

[romgrk]

Hello,

I downloaded the Windows zip from the releases page, but I'm unable to run it.

Steps:

• Download zip
• Unzip archive in local directory
• Either double-click gonvim.exe or start it from the command line
• The process the just sits idle, no window appearing

Let me know if I can provide any other information.

What happens if you double click nvim.exe in the bin folder? And which version is your Windows and 32 or 64 bit?

[romgrk]

64-bit, windows 7

When I double-click the nvim.exe in the folder, I get a terminal window with neovim running inside it. (no colors, but otherwise seems to be running fine)

Run gonvim.exe -u NORC from cmd? The only thing I can think of is when starting nvim, it throws something to stderr and it just hangs. I'm testing on Windows 7 64 bit as well so should be fine.

Yeaa, that was indeed the issue, there is something on stderr and it hangs.
Note that running gonvim.exe -u NORC had no effect, but I removed my nvim config directory and it started fine. Thanks.

I have the same problem as you,running gonvim.exe -u NORC had no effect,my os vserion is windows10,
and i didn't find the nvim config directory

In Windows, Gonvim have a probrem.

Gonvim starts asynchronously nvim.exe which find the $PATH in the startup sequence and attaches to neovim.
The problem is that it will attach to the state in which nvim.exe can not be completely started depending on the timing, and it ends with an error.

It's fix my fork branch. try it.
