CApplication::Create() failed

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:


(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Just my £0.02

I've just installed xbmc on a Win2k3 server. The same server has been hosting the content for XBMC for some time - I've just started to use it as a client. Was getting the exact same error: capplication::create failed. Wasn't using RDP - was just connected locally.

Anyway, on checking dxdiag, it turns out directdraw wasn't enabled on my graphics adaptor. Switching this on cured it. Posting this as a possible option for some of the other guys out there who are having problems.

Also, for server builds - you might want to check the hardware acceleration in display properties -> settings -> advanced -> troubleshoot. At least on Windows 2003, this is disabled by default. I can't say what the default is in WHS or 2008 though.

Hi guys,

I'm dying here with this error message, It worked before until I installed Warpia StreamingHD from PC to TV then I encountered a bunch of issues. Here is the link to my log:

Exactly the same issue on Windows 8 when exiting the application... Nevertheless it runs ok untill I do an exit from UI. If I close it with Alt + F4 it does close but when I try starting it again it's impossible. Sometimes I see the error, sometimes it just won't start. I have to restart Windows again. It becomes frustrating. All my drivers are up to date!

A log file would help ?

This is probably because the XBMC process is still running even though the XBMC window has closed. To completely make sure XBMC has exited press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and check for XBMC.exe under the Processes tab. If it's there, right-click > 'End task'.

No need to restart Windows.
