Crashing on startup about snip HOT 12 CLOSED

Did you run it as Administrator? I haven't tested it but maybe registering a global hotkey requires Administrator (Snip requires to be run as Administrator anyway).

from snip.

I tried running with and without, both behave the same way. I also attempted to run in Compatibility mode for other versions of Windows, still same result.

from snip.

Added a catch for this in commit 62f9ba3. This will just provide a more detailed error that will help me figure out why it's failing to register the hotkey.

from snip.

I just tried 4.3.1.0. The crash was silent as it was previously.

I received the same error as above. The addition "Application Error" in the Event Viewer had the following:

Faulting application name: Snip.exe, version: 4.3.1.0, time stamp: 0x53b5d750

Can you try this for me and see if it says anything?

I get

Couldn't register the hotkey.
1409

It seems to keep running after that.

from snip.

1409 = ERROR_HOTKEY_ALREADY_REGISTERED

I guess something else you use has the hotkey registered already.

I'll have to see what I can do about this.

from snip.

I've prepared this for temporary use until I can add in the ability to customize hotkeys.

https://impas.se/projects/Snip-v4.4.0.1.7z

This will gracefully skip hotkeys that can't be registered because they are in use and fail for any other error.

from snip.

Well when you said it that way, it clicked as to what is causing the issue. I run AutoHotkey persistently, and I have a shortcut already mapped to Ctrl+Alt+M.

Your fixed version runs correctly without throwing any messages. Thanks for your time on this!

from snip.

No problem. On the OBS forums there are a quite a few people that have a problem of Snip either crashing right away or not starting at all. I have a feeling this may be the cause of it. I wouldn't have found it without your help. Thanks.

from snip.

Thought I would mention that my Snip was crashing immediately with similar Event Viewer errors as the OP and running the alternative version provided a couple of posts up works fine, so I may also be experiencing the hotkey issue even with the latest version.

from snip.

Never mind. It worked the first time I launched it but wasn't writing the text file so I restarted it and now it crashes in the same manner as the latest version. Not sure what to do. For reference, the Event Viewer logs for 5.3.1.0 are below.
