Whenever I try to run SPICA it doesn't work, it won't load up or show up on screen. It used to be able to start up on its own but now it doesn't seem to be able to do it, can someone help with this? I really need help and fast.

Please don't create multiple issues on the same topic just because nobody answered. Everbody has his private life and doesn't have the time to solve every issue all the time. Please close the other issues to keep the issue tracker clean.

About your problem:
I can not reproduce it and it is most likly to be an error on your site because the last time the code was changed was on febuary 28th.
Did you change systems recently?
Is .NET Framework 4.6.2 installed? (Is included if you install v4.7)
I think the .NET Framework also needs DirectX. Is that installed?

This build runs on my Win7 machine just fine: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PxSuomMgFFSs2FQQGkcxTzSjcsrZdFBM

You also could try clearing the folder "%APPDATA%/../Local/SPICA".
If you have problems finding this folder just hit Win+R and paste it there.

I have a Windows 10 and I have Direct X Installed, but I cannot find a Spica folder in appdata/local.

I also tried my build on an Windows 10 machine and it worked there fine too.

The Spica folder is only created, if Spica has run once successfully.

What about .Net Framework? https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=55170
And does the build I provided change anything in the behavior?

Okay, I created another build that logs every error inside a Log-file.
SPICA_log_build_20181027.zip

Please try this out and provide me the log. It should be created in the same directory as the application with a name similar to Log_636762316458000555.txt

That's weird. The first line of code is "Create the log-file" before anything SPICA related is created. If even this not executed then there has to be something fundamentally wrong on you system.

What happens if you run the application as an administrator? (right click > run as administrator)

With the statement "fundamentally wrong" I assume that .NET Framework is installed correctly and runs correctly.

It has worked before and framework has already been pre-installed, and I did run as administrator but nothing happened. Is it some other kind of problem?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what the problem could be. It is really weird that the program doesn't even run one line of the program...
There has to be something blocking the execution. Do you have an anti virus program? Maybe it false positive marked SPICA as a virus? Otherwise I am out of ideas...

When was the last time SPICA ran normally?

If I recall correctly the last time it ran was in September

That is not that far ago. Pretty weird...

Hmm okay.. coming back to the second build I linked, just to be on the same page.
You did these steps and the log file still was not created?

Otherwise I'm sorry to tell you that I don't have any idea what the problem could be.

Just to make sure, don't forget to unblock the ZIP before extracting, this has caused issues in the past

I did it just now...and it has been fixed. I am able to use it again.
