## Causes

|
|
|
### Issue 1: Missing C++ Redistributable
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
*Eden requires the latest C++ redistributable from Microsoft in order to run. Like many other programs, it relies on aspects and libraries included in this runtime, without it - the program cannot run.*
|
|
|
|
1. Download the [Latest C++ Redistributable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022) from Microsoft for your machine.
|
|
2. Double Click the downloaded executable file and wait for the software to install.
|
|
3. Restart the computer.
|
|
4. Launch Eden again, if the main window appears, you are good to go. If not, proceed to the next issue.

### Issue 2: Corrupted System Files
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
*A corruption of necessary system files can cause odd behaviors when Eden tries to access them. It is a very rare case and you would likely see other programs misbehaving if this is what your issue is, but you can try if you have no other options.*
|
|
|
|
1. Launch Eden to generate a crash.
|
|
2. Confirm there are no logs created in the log directory.
|
|
1. See the [How to Access Logs](./HowToAccessLogs.md) page for the log location if you need it.
|
|
2. If there are any entries in here since you tried step 1, this is likely not your issue.
|
|
3. Navigate to your *Windows Event Viewer* (Start Menu → **eventvwr.msc)**.
|
|
4. Expand **Windows Logs** and select **Application.**
|
|
|
|
5. Look for an entry with the Level of Error, and look for a message similar to the following
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Faulting application name: Eden.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x6795dc3c
|
|
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.26100.3037, time stamp: 0x95e6c489

|
|
Faulting package-relative application ID:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Run a Command Prompt terminal Window as Administrator.
|
|
7. Enter the following command and wait for it to complete. It will take a while, just be patient and do other things while it completes.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
8. Reboot your computer.
|
|
9. Launch Eden and verify it is now working.
