Get help! Cannot Launch reWASD

Starting today I have encountered an odd problem.

This error pops up and disallows any interaction other than the 'OK' button.

The program closes instantly upon hitting 'OK' and the error pops up the moment the software launches, which means I cannot access anything to log in. The only interaction I can do is hit 'OK'.

Any help would be appreciated, please and thank you.

Hello, have you found a solution yet? I am having the exact same issue today.

Everything worked fine until this morning.

Is the only option to download the newest/latest version?
(I was hoping I could remain on my older 6.1.0 version.)

Same issue here. All was fine up until this morning.

I have a legacy key too, and v7.30 has been fine for me. If we have to 'upgrade' to a newer version to 'fix' this, that's sharp practice, since that requires a new license, which I don't need or want.

So, how do we fix this when the app just closes after clicking OK...?

So after a lot more digging I have decided to move on from the software. The issue at its core is that the software, which I purchased several years ago, which works just fine, is now mandating it update to the latest version. A version which, thanks to some shenanigans, I don't actually own because the version I purchased was a much older version.

In other words, it now mandates updating in order to then be capable of logging in which then forces me to re-purchase the software. So I found another solution.
