"Unhandled exception" when trying to launch the Windows client

Dump log: https://pastebin.com/JgH0k4Da

Occurs from both "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\client\NextPVR.exe" and the taskbar tray icon. NPVR is fully setup on the backend.

If OpenGL is not installed properly (we leave that to you) or your device doesn't support OpenGL then you need to run

"C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Client\NextPVR.exe" -nogl

For anyone else with a similar problem, it's basically a graphics driver issue. Intel aren't making drivers for anything older than Windows 10, so newer chips with IG need to have a Windows 10 system.

Actually, mvallevand you mentioned "installing" OpenGL

Do any staff/devs know of a way to *manually* install OpenGL for a stuborn use case like this / worstcase scenario? Say, if upgrading OS was not an option.

Cheers.

I posted "we leave that to you" to avoid having to answer that, maybe try installing DirectX. The impact on performance won't be noticeable anyway, it is not used for video.
