Good morning. I am a new user as of yesterday. I was able to run SongKong on a desktop computer with limited memory capacity, however it took over 24 hours to process a 6,000 odd itunes files and the disk drives were running overtime.
I thought I would try it on my HP laptop with 8 Gb of memory running Windows 10 64 bit. I was able to install version 2.35 it but when I tried to run it would not launch. I could see through task manager that it was in memory, occupying 23.3 Mb. I tried many things including reinstalling, uninstalling and installing the 32 bit version, running a clean boot and trying to reinstall again, checking for malware but to no avail. I tried installing other programmes and had no issues running them. I downloaded the zipped version only to find that none of my 3 zip programmes could open it as it said there was nothing in it, despite the act it said t was 91,280 KB size.
I hope you can help me. Regards Norm
SongKong wont launch on Windows 10 64 bit laptop
Can you try opening a Dos window and then starting SongKong from that and see what it outputs ?
Have you tried the SongKong 32bit version ?
Hell Paul. Yes I did try the 32 bit version under all of the different iterations I mentioned before. I have just tried to run sk from the command prompt but it wont let me do it. I opened the cmd prompt as an administrator and at the C:\windows\system32> prompt I put C:program files\jthink\songkong.exe and pushed enter but it came back and told me that it wasn’t recognised as a valid commad. I think it might be because it is a 64 bit processor running the 64 bit version of Windows 10. I think I read somewhere that the 64 bit version wont let you run programmes from the commad prompt
No, I think its because the 64bit version is called SongKong64.exe, and the 32bit version is in Programs Files(x86)
Thanks Paul. I tried it again with the correct programme but with the same result

Hi, because there is space you need to use double quotes
C:\\Program Files\\Jthink\\SongKong\\songkong64.exe
OK. I finally managed to get some output. It is reproduced below:

Just for future reference - if need be am I able to upload text files directly through this forum?
Thanks Paul. I have sent the file to support. Regards Norm
This output doesn’t match what I have at all it doesn’t seem to be trying to actually running the problem I think its something to with how the .exe wrapper is interpreted.
Can you try
"C:\\Program Files\\Jthink\\SongKong\\songkong.bat"
instead
Thanks Paul. I tried the above but nothing at all happened. As you can see by the script below I tried it twice.

Would it be any help for you to access my computer using Team Viewer or something similar?
Regards

Okay could try it, what is a good time for you, Im basedin UK and currently its 11:53am here.
I am based in Perth Western Australia and the time here is 7:03pm here. Any time that suits you will suit me

Update:There was a problem creating a trial license causing it to hang. We got round it by manually adding trial license details to the songkong.properties file
