On a fresh install of the 4.0.6 client on a Windows 10 LTSC laptop, I am unable to start the program due to the error below.
I have attempted multiple restarts, have used the setup utility to Repair my installation, have confirmed that Qt6Core.dll is correctly located in the listed directory, and I have even attempted adding the Nextcloud directory to my system PATH, all without effect.
There is functionally nothing else running on this computer and would appreciate any guidance in getting my Nextcloud client up and running.
nextcloud.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point SetThreadDescription could not be located
in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Nextcloud\Qt6Core.dll.
The only records of this particular error I’ve seen were when people were deploying on Windows 2016, which was due to it being based on earlier Windows 10 releases that lack required APIs.
@jtr I’m currently using “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB” (v1607 build 14393.8783) which has previously run the Nextcloud client successfully and without incident.
Currently looking to see if issue 8604 is the culprit and if re-installing version 3.17.4 is the answer.
Edit: Yep, it looks like some of the additions in the v4 version of the software are incompatible with LTSB builds, and forcing/preventing an upgrade higher than client version 3.17.4 is the only way to continue using Nextcloud on these systems. Leaving this post here to help others encountering the same issue.
