Blender 2.8 window 7

Few days ago I installed the blender 2.8 and launch it, but it wasn’t work. Without any error sign the (blender)program turns off itself . us it because of window 7 (64bit)?

Open cmd.exe and run blender.exe with blender.exe --verbose and see if it prints any errors or crashes.

Actually somehow I found and tried it, but when I typed ‘blender.exe’ it says "blender.exe it’s not a program that order or activate

Please try to navigate into the directory where blender.exe lives first. cd /path/to/blender.exe

I’m confuse for something, before navigate it, do I have to ‘command+R’ and type ‘cmd.exe’ like this?


and search the’cd /path/to/blender.exe’?

Yes, you start a terminal with cmd.exe. Then you navigate to the directory where Blender lives. You can change directories with the cd command and show what’s in the current directory with the dir command.

There is a blender_debug_log.cmd batch file in the blender folder, just double click that and i’ll make log files for you and open up explorer to show you where they are.

No need to be messing with the console your self anymore! :slight_smile:

But I shouldn’t just type ‘blender.exe’ right?
If the exe is locate at c>user>appdata>roaming>blender foundation, how should I enter it? this is the part that make me confuse -_-;;

If you alright can you show me the example?

You would either open the console and then first change to the directory with:

cd c:\user\appdata\roaming\blender foundation

and then enter blender.exe.
Or type the whole path to the exe at once. Without cd.
Easiest way would be what @LazyDodo suggested. I didn’t know that this exists, since I am no Windows user. I strongly suggest to get familiar with the command line anyway. And using the zipped versions of Blender instead of the installer.

blender generally doesn’t get installed to the appdata folder, it’s probably just in program files \ blender

I was referring to @Steve_GI example
