If I run it on the Windows 10 box, that I compiled it on, the splashscreen comes up and then closes without a trace.
I ran some procmon.exe while starting it on the Win10 box and it seems to hit Audiodg before cleanly exiting threads and then itself. Nothing obvious in the procmon output but I do need to dig into that a bit deeper.
If I install Audacity 2.1.2 from the packaged binary / executable you provide, that one starts up fine (though obviously no ASIO support which I need).
Before I get into further procmon hell though, any ideas on where else I might look? I'm wondering if I need to try code from the 2.1.3 branch instead?
Not sure if this is a compile issue or a Windows issue but trying this section first

Thanks for your time!
