Jarvis is installed. I downloaded the 17.1 Windows version file, started setup, kept libraries, installed completed.
Kodi will not launch
Unimstalled Kodi and re-installed it with the same result.
I'm using Windows 7

I'm not getting any error message, the reason why I didn't post it!
I selected "run Kodi" after it finished installing. It is not opening.
I run i5 CPU with 8GB RAM 64 bit
I'd be glad to post the debug log but I can't locate it

Copy and paste that log to pastebin.com and in a message here leave the URL link to that paste.

And, before you struggle to find the log, try:
Windows desktop: %APPDATA%\Kodi\kodi.log
Windows store (UWP): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\kodi.log

A number of people have encountered this issue after upgrading from Jarvis to krypton caused by a zero-byte Addons27.db file in the profile directory. Your kodi log file will likely refer to it if that's the case, so you can just delete that file and kodi should start properly.

Deleting Addons27.db worked for me as well
Thank you

Thank you. This worked for me.
For those looking for the Addons27.db file, it is in this directory
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\Database"
how did you guys do this i dont really now much about computers?

I looked at the Kodi log file and realised this message was always appearing right before kodi stopped running...
22:53:11.692 T:1196 ERROR: SQL: [Addons27.db] SQL error or missing database
So I looked at that file and discovered it was zero bytes in size. In other words, empty. Which would mean kodi couldn't read it and give that error.
So I moved it to a temporary location, just in case, and tried again... And it worked.
EDIT: I don't know exactly why this happens sometimes during an upgrade from Jarvis to Krypton, I only know how to resolve it when it does.
