Hi,

Have you intalled it properly? I mean have you follow the instructions of video - http://learn.ionicframework.com/videos/windows-android/ ?

It seems you have missed to defin some enviroment variable , or pherhaps your Antivirus block your computer to execude .js files ( default config on windows 8 :frowning: ),

Try to install it all again following the video ( excelent documentation ) and u problems will be 0 , except is Antivirus problem :slight_smile:

hy,
everything is properly installed.
a simple hello world cordova app works on android and w8.
only the ionic app crashes immediately and if i restart the app it shows only the cordova image and after 1s the app hides to the background.
disabling av (avg) and fw does not help.

pff is difficult to help you,I mean i’ve never hear this problem issue in Windows machines… In forum not and I don’t have this kind of problems.

To try help you can u upload a small video showing the problem? In that way the forum users and me can help you better :smiley:

Yes, I think that @Cris is perhaps misunderstanding the problem reported by @domi9er… If I am not misunderstanding, @domi9er is actually reporting that “ionic run windows” is failing on a Windows device - and not that “Ionic is not working on a Windows 8 machine”.

I am currently troubleshooting the same issue was initially reported - namely that an Ionic Windows build crashes immediately following the display of the Cordova splash screen on a Windows device.

I’ve come across this in my research: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/2965

Which ultimately will point you to: https://www.hoessl.eu/2014/12/on-using-the-ionic-framework-for-windows-phone-8-1-apps/

It appears that currently Ionic starter projects don’t contain everything ‘required’ to launch an Ionic starter app on a Windows device. MSOpenTech has provided a shim, winstore-jscompat.js, that allows us to start to work around the issues/platform-differences… After reading the above posts and doing as instructed - namely adding the shim before the ref to ionic.bundle.js in my index.html - I am able to get the tabs starter app running…

I am still seeing some issues/differences with the starter app when running on Windows vs how it runs on Android, but at least it’s running now and so I can begin troubleshooting those peculiarities!

Hope this helps! Best of luck!

Kudos to @caiiiycuk for getting it narrowed down!!
