Sonicpi doesn't open in windows 10

@llloret - looks like this is another case where boost is failing to initialise:

scsynth.log

# Starting SuperCollider 2017-01-17 07:53:26
SC FFT global init: cosTable initialised.
Exception in World_New: boost::interprocess::intermodule_singleton initialization failed

[samaaron]

server-output.log

(the error here is likely because the scsynth process blew up whilst it was trying to configure IO)

Yes, it looks so.

@Githoekstra, does the same error happen every time, or can you sometimes boot Sonic PI properly?

Between tries, can you reboot the PC, to make sure that there is nothing left in the background?

[Githoekstra]

No it happens everytime, also tried rebooting

[Githoekstra]

The app is now opening, did u adjust something? Else; how is it possible that it will run now? thanks

[samaaron]

@Githoekstra - there's nothing we could have adjusted at our end to your installed app - everything is local to your machines.

It's possible you had mostly been unlucky with your initial boots and @llloret's hunch was right in that it does boot occasionally.

Are you getting it booting every time though? What if you try say 10 times?

[Githoekstra]

It works everytime now, strange..

[samaaron]

Just digging through previous similar issues it seems that someone fixed a similar issue by ensuring the following points to a valid folder where you have write access:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Common AppData

Could you let us know the value of this for you?

Closing as this appears to be a duplicate of #959

Please try updating to v3.1 and if that still has problems please continue the discussion over on #959
