I have attempted to install Uniden Sentinel x36 on my new Windows 11 laptop. The installer runs, but when I try any tactic to start the program (click on desktop link, click in Start Menu, double click in Explorer), nothing happens. No error messages. Sentinel just does not start.
I have verified that I have Execute permissions on all links and on the executable.
It's an occasional issue that Sentinel's "user.config" file becomes corrupted and will prevent Sentinel from starting and running after it's installed.
Try this... (If this doesn't fix the issue, it won't cause any harm) :
Before trying to run Sentinel again, go to Windows Explorer and look for this folder on your computer:
C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Uniden
In that folder, you will see a sub-folder that begins with "BCDx36HP_Sentinel.exe_Url_"
Delete that entire sub-folder (it contains the "user.config" file).... be sure you are deleting just that specific sub folder. That sub folder does not get deleted when you un-install Sentinel, so if the "user.config" file in there is corrupted, it will still be there (and corrupted) when you just try re-installing Sentinel.
Re-start Sentinel... When Sentinel starts, it will re-write a new folder to replace the one that you deleted, and a fresh "user.config" file will be in that folder.
