Issue Details

When launching DIAdem, I see the error:

WINWORD_t6rSEyyOmh.png
pDIAScriptEngineGet() returned a NULL

DIAdem then closes itself and will not open past this point.

Solution

Various components of DIAdem require administrator privileges to register with the Windows OS, which should be configured and set when installing DIAdem as an administrator user. If these are not configured, you may receive the above error.

To solve this, launch DIAdem as an admin user to create the linkages and register the Script Engine.
