Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Executable Issues (Windows):

• Windows Defender/Antivirus blocking: Some antivirus software may flag the .exe as suspicious. This is a false positive common with PyInstaller executables. You can add an exception or run from source
• Application won't start: Try running as administrator or check if your antivirus quarantined the file
• "VCRUNTIME140.dll missing" error: Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

Python Version Issues:

• Ensure all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Verify Python version: python --version (should be 3.7+)
• Try using python3 instead of python on some systems

Can't load XML file:

• Ensure the file is a valid FileZilla export
• Check that the XML file isn't corrupted
• Verify you selected "Export Site Manager entries" when exporting

Passwords not showing:

• Some FileZilla versions may use different encoding methods
• Ensure your FileZilla export includes password data
