I tried uninstalling / reinstalling and still getting this error. Can someone please inform me how to troubleshoot this. Thanks

The wiki's linked from the top of the page contain most of the answers, this issue fall under Supported hardware (wiki) and then the standard Troubleshooting (wiki) wiki. But off hand; the usual issue is the gfx hardware fails.

Some people are saying it could be the updated AMD supposedly the update not working right with kodi. Did you recently update to windows 10. I'm going to try this fix too as I have the same problem I'm going to go to http://www.amd.com and try downloading 8.1 driver they were saying rollback the driver sense I can't do that have to go to site and click on the 8.1 download. You can try that and see if it works.

More importantly, if you want help from someone, post a debug log, less guesswork that way. (And you may find your own answer by looking in that log)

PLEASE HELP!!!
I am still getting my error unable to create application. hen I run the compatibility check on the program. It says that it needs to run on windows vista or higher, but I am running on windows 7. It keeps reading my computer as I guess XP.
It's really frustrating, I cant open KODI at all, cant run as admin it just keeps giving me that. What can I do? I have already downloaded 3 different versions of KODI but nothing

@Kingdelboxeo: What you should do is post a new thread and not hijack this one.
Stop messing with compatibility checkers or whatever junk you are doing there. Certainly don't run as admin. This is a native program designed to work on Win7, 8 and 10. So get rid of all those compatibility settings as that is not helping.
If compatibilty tester is say "Windows Vista or Higher" then it is telling you to stop faffing with the compatibility checker. Win 7 is higher than Vista.
Once you have put that back to normal, dig out a debug log. The "error unable to create application" is probably crashing due to a dodgy add-on or something like a PS3 controller attached. The debug log will tell you waht that is.

I just didnt want to get screamed at for making a new thread with the same name . Ill post a new one thanks.

You are being ignored as you are not providing a debug log. If you put that into your post you are much more likely to get some help. Or even better, read the log yourself and you may well see the problem.

Is that the whole log? The start should look more like this:
Some how you have installed to a weird location. Looks like it is time to start again and this time let KODI install in C:\Program Files (x86)\ as normal.
I noticed in your of your other machine gunned posts you mention "work computer" - do you have rights to install software on here? Are you able to deal with the UNC prompt when it appears?

The more I try and read your log, the more twisted I see your installation is! Some how you seem to have installed KODI inside itself inside your documents folder. Hard to get my brain around that.
compare the batch of lines towards the end. The special:// ones. These are telling KODI where to find its executable, addons and so on. Somehow yours are totally FUBAR.
So, start again...
* Uninstall KODI.
* Download fresh installer from kodi.tv
* Reinstall it, but this time make sure it goes to the normal plain default of C:\Program Files (x86)\
DON'T run any of the compatibility modes or any of that crud. Not needed. Just plain run the installer as normal.

Thanks for the help Batter
Should I just uninstall every KODI I see and then just download it again and this time make sure it saves to C:\Program Files (x86)\
