Hi and thank you for all of your work!
I’ve read the FAQ but same problem … German operating system … the program starts in English.
Any idea what to do?
Hello mate, great job on this, it works as expected, only issue is all the workspaces are in Japanese and any solution is beyond my knowledge.
If your portable crashes after showing “Starting up service registry…”
Change your default printer to any virtual printer
Check that it solved your problem!
If not
Delete the “Sandbox” folder
ID must open up this time, if no other errors are popped up 🙄
