Zimbra Desktop won't open

Post by NikProwse »

Hi
Zimbra Desktop won't open on my Windows PC. It was running fine then I clicked on a link in an email (not spam) and it crashed the program and now won't open.

When I click the icon a DOS window appears briefly. I caught it with a screenshot and the message is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\win32\zdrun.vbs(91, 5) (null): the system cannot find the file specified

I looked at this location and the zdrun/vbs is there.

What can I do? I hesitate to reinstall because I have a lot of emails saved. Is there a way of backing up my stored Zimbra emails before I reinstall?

Any help very gratefully received.
Thanks
Nik

There are ways of taking backup but since you are not able to open ZD it's difficult.
You can try upgrading ZD by downloading latest one https://www.zimbra.com/downloads/zimbra-desktop/. Upgrade will not delete any data, so you might expect to have ZD running with newer version.

Hi Edgar,
Do you have the latest Java version? Do you receive some error?

I can resolve the problem deleting the "zimbra-desktop" folder, path "C:\Users\myUserFolder\AppData\Local\zimbra-desktop" and no lost any data.

Thanks for posting this Edgar! Saved me a bunch of time. I delete the folder and it came back up very quick, didn't lose a thing.
Cheers,
Ken
