Starting HDevelopEVO Fails (Backend)🔗

Message “Backend executable could not be found”🔗

Problem
Trying to start HDevelopEVO fails.
The dialog shows the error message Backend executable could not be found.
Possible Solution
Probably the backend executable (%HALCONROOT%\bin\x64-win64\hdevelopevo_backend[xl].exe file) was not installed correctly. Re-run the installation via SOM.

Other Messages🔗

Problem
Trying to start HDevelopEVO fails.
The dialog shows error messages such as Failed to start HDevelopEVO backend, Backend tried to restart too often, or Backend exited unexpectedly.
Possible Solution
Verify that HDevelopEVO and HALCON are properly installed. If in doubt, re-run the installation via SOM.
Check the logs of security and antivirus software. The backend needs to be able to open a network port on 127.0.0.1.
The backend uses anti-debugging measures. Make sure the system does not have forensic analysis software installed.
