The file is named kodi.log and the previous one is kodi.old.log

Don't forget that windows is retarded and doesn't show file extensions by default.

Hello nickr!

Thanks for reiterating the file name. Unfortunately, a file by that name does not exist in my Kodi folder. Only the files I listed above.

Suggestions?

Are you 100% sure the files named kodi and kodi.old don't have a log extension that Windows is hiding?

Go to %AppData%\Kodi\userdata\Database in the Explorer and delete Addons27.db.
Kodi should start now.

I tried using that, but it says that I can't delete it because its still open in Kodi.exe when I've already deleted kodi.

Reboot and try again, and please include a proper debug log posted to a public paste-bin and that URL linked to this thread. In the future pls start your own thread, it's likely your issue is not the same as the op.

The new version of Kodi will not open at all for me. I tried using the manual run program, I tried clicking on the exe in the folder itself. I tried uninstalling kodi, restarting my computer, and even looking for the registry (unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to find anything to do with the registry) If there is anything else you need from me, please let me know; I will try to find the info. Oh yeah, and I tried the kodi website download vs the windows app store download with the same results.

Go to %AppData%\Kodi\userdata\Database in the Explorer and delete Addons27.db.
Kodi should start now.

same problem but when I try to delete Addons27.db. it says that kodi is open and unable to perform task...how can I have kodi closed but be able to delete one of its files at the same time?

Reboot and the file will be freed up. Then delete. Then start Kodi.

@chrissy confused

Why do you think you cannot close Kodi? You do not delete addons27.db from within Kodi. You need to exit Kodi, call up Windows Explorer and navigate to that file.

If you are not sure how to exit Kodi, you can do it by either using the power button on your remote control or by pressing ctrl and End simultaneously on your keyboard. There might even be a Power option in your Kodi Menu. Just select Exit. If you are already out of Kodi, maybe call up Task Manager and kill the process.

Follow these instructions to delete addons27.db http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2576239

I notice this is your first post. How do you know this is your problem? Maybe you should post a debug log. Follow these instructions... http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2572642

this is the kodi 17 log- https://pastebin.com/B76PV9gG
and kodi 17 crash log- https://pastebin.com/DS8qCUrD
I don't knwo which one is more useful so I put both. I'm very close to just giving up I've tried so many things.

Hello ianrod30

It looks like a graphics problem, though debugging was not Enabled, so there may be other causes.

I note you are using HD3000 graphics chipset on Windows 10. This combination is not supported and you may not find any drivers to update to. Best try to install v16.1 instead and see if that works... http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/win32/old/

You might have to drop back to legacy Kodi 15.2

I CAN start a new thread but the issue is the same as here, try to start KODI and get the dreaded unable to create application error. I have searched and see no working cure.
I am loading KODI on a Dell desktop running W7 64bit. After install I select run. and get the error message. I have used the KODI uninstaller and even gone into the registry and removed all reference to KODI for a clean slate. Before doing that, I looked for the profile xml file and there is no KODI folder in the user/AppData/Roaming location. Not even a KODI.old folder. So that published fix does not work for me. And yes, I have set the folders to show all, nothing hidden.
This is very strange and frustrating because I have loaded KODI on several media boxes as well as laptops/desktops. This is the ONLY unit that has given this error.
Any solutions I've missed?
Thanks!!!!!
Dave
