I have scoured the posting as I saw several people recommend this DAW so I would love to help get this working!

I have attempted several reinstalls, using the default settings for the last few, tried setting drmingw as my debugger, yet like another poster I’m met with no logs after the crash and no Zrhythm-trial folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Would love any guidance on how to get it up and running! (:
