Having problems at fpc's new installation
Courier:
Microsoft Windows11, fpc3.2.2 downloaded at https://www.freepascal.org/download.html, but constantly crashed when opening fp.exe.
I have tried to find solutions everywhere, e.g. compatible mode, and still, unable to tackle this problem. :'(
Besides, I had the same error when running FreeBasic1.10.0 at win10.So I doubt that probably the flaw of system compatibility accounted for this.Will it be a solution for me to change system back to win7, or to run it on the virtual machine of XP(Service Pack 3)?
dseligo:
What version of FPC did you install (Windows 32-bit or Windows 64-bit)?
What is exact error you are getting?
Does fpc.exe works?
I have it running on Windows 11 and have no problems.
Josh:
Sounds like an AntiVirus program causing issues.
If you can exclude the folders and subfolders for fpc,lazarus and your projects from being scanned.
There are many topics on AV's causing issues and not just with fpc/lazarus but any development software that generates executeable binaries libraries
VTwin:
I have 3.2.2 running (with Lazarus) in VirtualBox on Windows 11, 7, and XP.
As noted:
fp.exe is not fpc.exe (but neither should crash).
Check the version you downloaded.
Maybe it is antivirus software.
Include full information, including AV and messages.
Keep at it, it will work!

Thank for your help and guidance.I'm glad to hear that it wasn't because of the system compatibility.
1）I 'm pretty sure that I installed "fpc-3.2.2.win32.and.win64.exe", but when I opened the folder I found that it reads "i386-win32".Would that makes a difference?
2&3）The exact error is that I couldn't even run the "fp.exe". Everytime I double click it, a program window that was quite similar to "cmd.exe" appears, where there's a word reading “?Free Pascal IDE Version 1.0.12 [2021/05/15]”.And then the window closed. I couldn't even see the beginning page of FPC, just a white word on a black background.
