Hi, I don’t see any problem with root_v6.30.06.win64.vc17.exe, even with VS 2019:

Do you have several versions installed on your computer? Do you have any startup script or custom .roorc?

[songshusen]

I have uninstalled all the old versions before installing the new one(6.30.06).
I have no startup script or custom .roorc.
I use VS 2022, this is different with yours.
Now, I have uninstalled the 6.30.06. And I have re_installed 6.30.04, it is working ok.

Same with VS 2022:

I have try twice, and 6.30.06 can not been opened.
6.30.04 and 6.30.02 can been opened.

[bellenot]

I understand, and I will investigate more and try to guess what could be the issue…
But at least you can use 6.30.04 for now and 6.30.06 doesn’t have new features anyway

[songshusen]

Okay, I agree with you.

[Danilo]

Thanks for your report. Thanks to it we discovered that the links to the zip version of the Win binaries of 6.30.06 were not correctly published on the release page Release 63006 - ROOT . That issue is now fixed.

You can find them now there and try them out, if you so wish.

Cheers,
Danilo

I re_download the exe from root_v6.30.06.win64.vc17.debug.exe and from root_v6.30.06.win64.vc17.exe, and re_install them, but the same problem, see the pic.
