Cmder (cmd.exe) startup crashes at clink step

[pilcru]

Hi,

Today my installation of cmder stopped working, cmd.exe would crash when clink is run from /vendor/init.bat. Same thing with a fresh install of cmder. I do not have control over the windows updates on this computer so it might be because of something installed by my employer.

Here is the output in cmder, after I close the windows dialog saying that the "Windows command processor has stopped working":

C:\Users\pcuvil {git}{hg}
{lamb}

Current directory:
C:\Users\pcuvil

Command to be executed:
"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /k "C:\Users\pcuvil\Desktop\cmd\vendor\conemu-maximus5\..\init.bat"


ConEmuC: Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=255.
Press Enter or Esc to close console...

The initial cmd prompt is not always there.

The clink log was not helpful at all, it stops before doing anything serious:

To resolve the issue I had to overwrite both clink and ConEmu with their latest versions (0.4.5 for clink, 151101 for ConEmu). Upgrading clink alone did not change anything, upgrading ConEmu alone allowed me to move past the crash but the command prompt showed {lamb} and {git} instead of the nicer expected versions.

Not sure if anyone had this before, in any case you now have what worked for me!

When you say fresh install, which version did you download?

[pilcru]

I tried both v1.2 full version, and v1.2 full overwritten with everything in the repo at 417051f.

Can you try the latest pre-release at https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/releases please?

This one works, sorry I didn't see it before when I looked for new releases...

No problem :)
