Hi again,
just updated to 5.19 on a Windows 2012 and get an error all the times I try to start FFS.

Hi same problem here as well after install of the 5.19 on Windows 8.1. The FreeFileSync_x64.exe is not working anymore but FreeFileSync_Win32.exe does work.

Same problem in Windows8 64-bit with FreeFileSync 5.19

Ditto, but app exits immediately without error.
Windows 8 x64
v5.19
Both FreeFileSync.exe and FreeFileSync_x64.exe
FreeFileSync_Win32.exe seems OK.

Thanks all for this fast feedback! I can confirm the app-crash on Windows 8 and am currently investigating.

Okay, found it: a wxWidgets 64 bit bug where they use a "long" (32-bit in MSVC) as last parameter for EnumFontFamExProc instead of the LPARAM (64-bit in MSVC) which is documented. I'll release an updated FFS version later today.

5.20 no longer crashes on startup for me, but it does crash when I click the help button next to the symbolic link handling option.

@Reith: Indeed and thank you for spotting this!

It's again a wxWidgets 64-bit bug. This time they incorrectly use a DWORD instead of a DWORD_PTR as last parameter when dynamically loading HTMLHELP from hhctrl.ocx.
All these wxWidgets bugs... I hope this is the last one (at least for some time).

Here's the new FFS version:
[404, Invalid URL: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/FreeFileSync_5.21_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Thanks for the quick fix! Everything looks good on my end now.

All good now!
