Crash on Publish

• Aug 19, 2023 - 19:04

Any time I try to go to Publish with a score open Musescore (4.1.1) crashes. No notification, it just shuts down. This happens with any score I have. I can open musescore, go to publish tab with no score open, but if I then open a score it immediately crashes. Or I can create a new score, make no edits to it, go to publish and it crashes.

I've completely uninstalled Musescore and Hub, reinstalled Hub, which then reinstalls Musescore, same problem. When Musescore starts up, even after unintstall and reinstall it pops up a message that the session closed unexpectedly, so uninstall is not wiping all files; I don't know if that has anything to do with it (ie just some bad setting in a config file?)

Windows 10, Musescore 4.1.1 (this also happened with the previous version I had installed, 4.something, I don't know exactly), AMD processor

I've fixed this. As noted in my OP, MuseScore is leaving files around after uninstall. There were files left in Program Files, in a lot of different places under my user directory, and all through the registry. Registry contains a ton of stuff for Muse 3, which is long gone from my system.

Anyway after another uninstall, then deleting all files in Program Files and user/AppData relating to musescore and doing another reinstall the problem disappeared.

Many apps ask you during uninstall if you want to delete all settings, user files, etc. Musescore does not, and the left over files can cause problems.
