[chirp_users] Can’t get Chirp to Load
I can’t seem to get Chirp to load into my Hp Envy laptop running Windows 10. After researching the Internet and this forum, I have found references to the config file that supposed to be located in the debug file. Well, neither of those two are in my Chirp program. Has anybody seen this problem before and if so, how is it fixed?? I hope I am not asking a question that has been addressed already but I haven’t seen it in here.
Thanks. Kenny KD4HQQ

When you say you can't get it to load, do you mean that the install crashes when you try to run the installer? If so, what is the error it crashes with?
Also, we had someone else recently who didn't realize that the program you download is not the Chirp executable, but the Chirp installer that puts the executable on your windows machine. One it runs successfully, you have to start Chirp from the start menu. You may already know this, but just in case, I wanted to make it clear.

My son-in-law just gave me a laptop with Windows 10. I thought that would give me a chance to see first hand why many seem to have difficulty with installing CHIRP and possibly create a guide to avoid problems. Unfortunately the CHIRP (and old Prolific device driver) installation completed successfully with no issues.
I would try right-clicking the downloaded installation file and choosing "Run as administrator" to perform the installation. That is what I did.
Also, the debug.log file and chirp.config files are not in the "Chirp program" folder. This is the link to the wiki page that covers locating the debug.log file (which is the same folder that the chirp.config file is located in).

I also just recently downloaded and installed Chirp on my new Dell laptop with Windows 10. I had zero problems.
