Error when opening program

Post by sbet » 24 Dec 2015 22:34

I am using Windows 10, and when I'm trying to open the program I get the error message "Error while unpacking program, code LP6. Please report to author." I tried to reinstall the program, but it didn't solve the issue. I have been using FamilyHistorian for a long time, but this issue came suddenly today.

I don't recall seeing that error message before.
There are some suggestions that messages similar to that are caused by anti-virus products intefering by mistake.
So try temporarily disabling your anti-virus or excluding the C:\Program Files (x86)\Family Historian folder.
Otherwise, I suggest you report to the author Calico Pie via the Family Historian Support page http://www.family-historian.co.uk/suppo ... t-overview under Contact Support.

You're not running Trusteer Rapport (security software provided by some banks) by any chance? This is known to cause problems.
