Hi and thanks for a quick answer.
I using the latest installer from this site 17.6 for windows right now but i have trying betas and older versions without success, i have trying to follow the steps for advanced debugging but i could not find "C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata" but i found it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\Userdata", i follow the guide and created this file and trying to start but nothing, no log anywhere, searched all of C:\ for this log, i think kodi.exe not even try to start, it stops after one sec or something. I have kodi installed several years without problems so this is wierd.

Hi, yes, i searched in my user folder, i have only two, one for administrator account and one for my user account "Removed" and there is no kodi folder there, i used your advice on using %appdata% in start and it put me in my administrator account i use right now but no kodi folder.

That is strange. Sounds like a corrupted install.
Can you try installing again.

Hi, i removed and reinstalled again without any improvements, i got a feeling that kodi things it is not a valid system to run on, i do not remember now witch program but i was trying another program and it stopped and say that it will not install on a Windows XP or Vista system??, my question is, is it possible to install Kodi 17.6 on a Vista but not run it?, what happen when you try to start kodi.exe? it is only a wierd thought i have.

To run Kodi on Windows XP, you need to use v12 or earlier. They are no longer available from us. Support for XP ended in 2014.
v17 will be the last version to work on Vista.
It is not clear which system your are trying to install on- XP or Vista, but they are your options above.

A Server version of Windows is more likely to be locked down so only certain users have privileges to run things, you may have to run Kodi an an administrator.

Have you tried right clicking on the Kodi exe file then selecting run as administrator.
