2021-03-13 Thread David 
Yes it appear s to be a the bug mentioned below. Ive just installed 
kicad-msvc.r21492.b691c18bfc-x86_64.exe from 1 week ago and then 
installed kicad-msvc.r21621.b71ab01de4-x86_64-lite.exe over it and 
everything starts up OK. I use an uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller veresion 
3.20) to uninstall any previous versions. The uninstaller removes left 
over directories and registry entries. Maybe I'll skip removing the 
leftovers if it's causing a crash. I'm not using the nightlies for any 
work yet anyway. Sticking with the stable for now.

If this is the case, try installing an older nightly (like go back a 
week or so, just using the lite installer is fine) and try starting it 
up.  If that works, you should be able to install the latest version 
again and have it work.

manually have to add to trusted applications).

If  
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/e38fe842e225271b2c971cc5d8d4035d57c837c1
fixes it, there should be a new lite build i half an hour.

If this is the first time you are running KiCad 5.99, or you erased your
settings directory, you may be hitting
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7900 with that version.

If this is the case, try installing an older nightly (like go back a week
or so, just using the lite installer is fine) and try starting it up.  If
that works, you should be able to install the latest version again and have
it work.
