Yup. Doesn’t matter. Run the compatibility tool.

@Varaxian https://github.com/varaxian I’m already running the .exe with the “Run as Administrator” box checked (which is what running the compatibility tool for access permissions will turn on), and I’ve tried running it in compatibility mode for everything available in the list: WinServ2008R2SP1, Vista, VistaSP1, VistaSP2, and Win7.

I’ve been doing some more digging, and it does appear to be related to making a call to the window manager. The important part of that stacktrace is right at the top:

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type ‘Microsoft.Windows.Themes.ClassicBorderDecorator’ to type ‘System.Windows.Controls.Border’.

I’m thinking this was developed on a Win10 machine that supports that typecast action, whereas older OSes may not. Either that, or the issue lies in the Server version of the OS, which has a less-advanced window theme manager.

See #68, it appears to be an issue for people using the Windows Classic theme. Working on a fix.
