When I start ChocolateyGUI, I get an unhandled exception error from Windows.

My system: Windows 10 Pro 21H1 (32 bit) Build 19043.1706 Chocolatey version 1.1.0 ChocolateyGUI version 1.0.0

Screenshot below. Fehler

The debug log from ChocolateyGUI is here.

I have reinstalled ChocolateyGUI and I tried to delete the %appdata%\Local\Chocolatey Gui\data.db, but it doesnt help.

IIRC the only xml file read in by Chocolatey GUI is the Chocolatey Configuration file found at $env:ChocolateyInstall/config/chocolatey.config. @fenderfan7 the error you have there appears to indicate an invalid character as the first character of the Chocolatey config file. Interestingly it sounds like you’re not having Chocolatey issues even though it appears to only be Chocolatey methods mentioned as opposed to Chocolatey GUI.

I would check what encoding the chocolatey.config has, and ensure it’s saved as UTF8 without BOM if it’s not already.

It doesn’t work. The error massage (translated from German): The application could not be started. the file ‘ChocolateyInstall/config/chocolatey.config’ could not be found.

Sad, but let me know, if I can some other tests for you.
