As the title says: I can’t start the SWI-Prolog IDE from the daily build for windows. I tried with today’s binary (21/09/26) and the earliest available one (13/09/26) and both fail to start the IDE.
More precisely, double-clicking on the swipl-win.exe or calling it from the command line does nothing. I don’t see a swirly working icon and there’s no swi process created in the task manager. I tried running it as administrator but nothing changes.
I can start swipl.exe on the command line (powershell).
I can’t find anything related to “swipl” in the windows logs (Event Viewer). I rebooted and there’s no change. There’s no message that swipl-win.exe is blocked when I right-click and look at Properties. Permissions for swipl-win.exe are set to read and execute for all users (and all permissions for administrators).
I don’t think the file is blocked by e.g. Windows Defender. I added an exception anyway but nothing changes.
An earlier daily binary from 07 August 26 starts up the IDE just fine. I don’t have any daily builds between that date and 13/09/26 so I don’t know exactly when the IDE disappeared.
