CodeLite Error - Fails to startup

Post by diafol »

First off I'd like to say hi to everyone here and show my appreciation for a wonderful piece of software that has helped me a lot in learning c++, I've had CodeLite 2.9 installed for a few weeks, however in the last day I've been getting the following error

'Failed to load configuration file: E:\program files\CodeLite/config/codelite.xml'

I've tried deleting the codelite.xml file on some advice I found elsewhere in this forum, but it hasn't fixed the problem.

Any ideas on solutions would be greatly appreciated

cheers

You failed to mention your Windows version, so I will assume you are using Windows 7:

Since 2.8 codelite is keeping its configuration files under C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\CodeLite

simply delete this folder.

If you are using Win XP:
C:\Document and settings\<name>\Application Data\CodeLite

or type in the Windows explorer bar:

Code: Select all

%AppData%
and delete "CodeLite" directory
