I get the "Unable to create GUI. Exiting" error on Kodi 16 (Jarvis) and the Nightlies (Krypton). Isengard works.

Here's my logs

Here's my system info:

Vista
DirectX 11
Chipset: Intel GMA 4500M
Driver: 8.15.10.2860

Note: I updated to the latest generic driver from intel (had to bypass "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer" to do it)

Unfortunatly but only debugging in VS is a way to understand what happens here:

ERROR: CRenderSystemDX::CreateWindowSizeDependentResources - Creating swap chain failed with error: 80070057 - E_INVALIDARG (The parameter is incorrect.

OK I've got Visual Studio 2010. Opened the Dump file. Started the native debugger. Never done this before could use some guidance.

I meant complie in VS2013 and start Kodi from studio in debug. In debug window you will see what goes wrong.

[JackGrimes]

Oh, I'm pretty sure VS2013 doesn't install in Vista. Is there a reason building Kodi can't use an earlier version of VS?

[afedchin]

VS2013 supports Vista also see https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/produ...ty-vs.aspx

[JackGrimes]

That just means it supports Vista as a target. From the VS2013 download page:

Supported Operating System

Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2

[afedchin]

You are right, so there is no way to understand what goes wrong.

You are right, so there is no way to understand what goes wrong.

Well would it be possible to take a pre-existing debug build then run it through VS2010's debugger to see what's going on?
