When attempting to launch the application, a console window flashes briefly before the program fails to open

Hello, fellow users and developers,


When I attempt to run SdmPsiGui.exefrom File Explorer, a black console window briefly flashes and then disappears. Even after clicking "Run anyway," the application fails to launch. The attached image shows the result of executing the program via PowerShell (command: D:\appdownload\SdmPsiGui-win64-v6.23\SdmPsiGui.exe), with no error output—it simply returns to the prompt silently.


This issue occurred suddenly; the software was previously functioning correctly. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but the problem persists.


Could anyone advise on the potential cause and resolution? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

me too T_T

I found the solution! Maybe you could try moving the package to C:/ and then click the gui.exe

Thank you very much for your response. However, the issue has now evolved into the following: 


 The software runs normally when opening the default "tutorial" folder. However, when I try to open a new folder I created within the "home" directory, the application closes ("disappears") immediately. If I click to run it again, a black command-prompt-like window flashes briefly on the screen and then vanishes. Deleting my newly created folder allows the software to function normally again. The problem is accompanied by the error log shown in the new window, which contains the following message:


Simplified log: (For a complete execution log click here.)


Error on selecting new data directory: Couldn't change directory to: D:/appdownload/SdmPsiGui-win64-v6.23/home/new


Current working directory: C:/Users/Administrator


I would greatly appreciate it if you know the solution,and I wish you a pleasant day.
