Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.267
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Store version (latest)

Windows Terminal (Dev Build)

Steps to reproduce

I have build Terminal from source and am using it successfully, but I would like to try the version from the Windows Store. I have downloaded it, but when I try to launch it, it immediately terminates without any other error.

The exact sequence is:

Start Menu
Click on "Windows Terminal (Preview)"

Expected behavior

I expect both versions to run on the same instance of Windows, if the manual build runs, then the pre-compiled should also run?

Actual behavior

I get a quick flash of a terminal window - it is not blank (as reported elsewhere). It is a quick flash and then immediately it terminates. Nothing on the taskbar, nothing in the process list, no error messages, etc.

Additional Information

There are no updates pending on the Windows Store, and the Dev Build version runs fine.

I looked at #2073 because the symptoms are the same, but I am not running with elevated privileges "Run as administrator" (ie, right-click on the icon).

Just to double check, "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7-preview\\pwsh.exe" is installed, correct?

I had this same issue. My default profile pointed to an installation of Powershell (6) that didn't exist. Installing PS6 allowed Terminal to open successfully.

It is not installed on this machine, but it is installed on my other laptop. Installing it solved the problem.

I am curious why it thinks I have PowerShell 7 installed? I do have it on my other test laptop. Are these profiles synchronized?

Yep that'll do it. The commandline needs to exist.

As of #2298 we won't roam the settings anymore, but as of 0.3 we still do.

I might investigate popping a warning dialog if the executable doesn't exist as part of #1348, but that also might be impossible so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
