Troubleshooting

Installation failure

If installation fails, please enable MSI debug, reinstall, then find the installation log and send it to us at [email protected] The log file is the latest file that can be found inside AppData\Local\Temp (in Windows Explorer enable Details view and sort by "modified date"). The file name is like C:\Users\nico\AppData\Local\Temp\CmisSync_20140213135800_0_CmisSync.msi.log or similar (Note: Configure Windows to show hidden files, otherwise you might not see AppData).

The tray icon does not appear

CmisSync is accessible as a small icon in the notification area (also known as system tray). It is hidden by default, so please follow this guide to make it always visible (choose "Show icon and notifications).

If that does not fix the problem, please also see The CmisSync icon does not appear.

Crash or strange behavior

Common problems:

• Antivirus problems
• Sorry, CmisSync can not find a CMIS server at this address
• Path too long

If there is another problem or if CmisSync crashes, please create an issue report here.
Please:

1. Attach the log file. CmisSync's log file can usually be found at C:\Users\nico\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\debug_log.txt (replace nico with your user name. Note: Configure Windows to show hidden files, otherwise you might not see AppData).
2. Does a C:\Users\nico\AppData\Roaming\cmissync\xyz.cmissync file gets created?
3. What Operating System do you use? (Windows, Mac, Linux) What version? (Vista, 7, ...) 32bit or 64bit?
4. What CMIS server (product and version) are you using? (if you know)
5. What version of CmisSync are you using? You can find out in "Control panel > Uninstall a program" or in the CmisSync "About" window:
