Cannot launch WebODM

Lord Uma Das

WebODM 3.3.0 on Windows 11. When openning, I received a Windows Secutiry alert regarding WebODM. After that, I got the message Cannot launch WebODM. Exit code 1.

When clicked Open Logs, Windows does nothing 🙁

Not sure how to fix this :(.

What anti virus are you running

Lord Uma Das OP

Windows Defender (Win default)

Is it a native install using the windows installer

Lord Uma Das OP

yes

Lord Uma Das OP

and I am installing on a separate drive (windows at C and WebODM at E)

Martin Reading (CRYO-GEN)

That's similar to what I run, and not had any problems, you got plenty of room on the E drive

Lord Uma Das OP

80GB right now on E

Lord Uma Das OP

free

Martin Reading (CRYO-GEN)

Only 80GB free, that's not a lot

Lord Uma Das OP

Using ChatGPT to help to fix it, just making backup of everything from WebODM

Lord Uma Das OP

had to turn off my computer to do some errands, now that I am back it worked, not sure what happened

Strange. I'm not sure what the solution is here. Is there a way to whitelist WebODM / disable Smart App Control?

Lord Uma Das OP

I am trying again now, and ChatGPT recommended after a few tests:

Is it a docker install on windows, or using the native windows installer

Lord Uma Das OP

it's a native windows installer, and Smar App triggers it randomly, for the last 2 days it is triggering very often

Lord Uma Das OP

happened again, I will try to find out how to whitelist WebODM from Smart App, and in last resource docker

Of course, this is ChatGPT answer, not sure how reliable it is

WebODM has hundreds of .pyd files; I'm not sure I would trust ChatGPT here

Lord Uma Das OP

yep

Lord Uma Das OP

I am thinking to backup and instal through docker

Lord Uma Das OP

I already have docker/linux on a simpler machine for web access, and a local windows installar on my main work machine (more powerful

I will try shipping a release shortly that signs all binaries (including all .pyd) files, perhaps that will work. I will post an update here once it's ready

Lord Uma Das OP

Ok

Lord Uma Das OP

thank you

Lord Uma Das OP

Installed and running it

Lord Uma Das OP

it worked
