It seems that I missed the best time to use this great tool.

I've tried the 4.9.7 exe with trampol.sqlite in the same folder but nothing happens.
After removing trampol.sqlite, GUI shows up an yes/no panel and tells me trampol.sqlite is missing ,
GUI closes if I choose to use the file in /cleandb.

PC enviroment :
WIN10 64bit
python 2.7 (no lib/pil installed cuz I dunno how to)

Anyway, Thank you for creating this tool, its the only hope for Tiwanese version. <:)

Hi,

Which version of Windows are you on? It could be some issue with some missing dll. As far as I remember, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable could be required (mainly msvcp90.dll and maybe msvcr90.dll from it).

If/when I resume work on this, I have to update lots of stuff, since most of the required python libraries, as well as python itself, are now deprecated. There's also some code that I'd like to revisit and optimize.

I quickly produced a new exe with pyInstaller from my old workspace. Could you test with this?
** I am removing the link since pyinstaller created an exe that triggers antimalware detection **

Thank you for replying !
The version is win10 professional 21H2<--not sure if this is what you asking.
I have both .dll under C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_5090ab56bcba71c2

Below are my Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable versions:
x64 9.0.21022
x64 9.0.30729.17
x64 9.0.30729.6161
x86 9.0.21022
x86 9.0.30729
x86 9.0.30729.17
x86 9.0.30729.4148
x86 9.0.30729.6161

And about the new exe and db, Unforturnately google says the file is infected and forbids me to download it.

We pretty much have the sane OS, There were some notes I've read, stating that the built exe from python scripts may not be compatible with previous Windows versions ie. older Windows (7, Vista, Xp) than the one you built it on. I'm not sure if this is actually the case (mostly concerned for Windows 7) since I cannot quickly test for this, but it was worth asking.

And you're right. The exe I've built and uploaded is indeed being flagged as having a virus/trojan. I can reproduce this if I try to download it from my Google drive. This was probably why I stopped building the python scripts into exe in the first place -- and I think it's also why github removed the previous release build with the exe files.

PyInstaller seems to be the "culprit" here. I'm using version 3.6 which is the last one that works with Python 2.7, and also the project requires 32bit versions of python and all the libraries. I've found a stack-exchange thread with potential solutions which I may try tomorrow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43777106/program-made-with-pyinstaller-now-seen-as-a-trojan-horse-by-avg

It's a false positive of course, but better to be cautious, I agree.

If the solutions don't work, unfortunately you'll have to either find the old versions of the deprecated libraries for python and run the python scripts directly, or wait for a possible updated release in the future -- which is probably going to take a while, this can't be a priority for me at the moment.

It looks like build a proper pyhton environment for 4.9.9 is my best chance for now.

Yet again, thank you for further investigation for this old project.
