BUG | cannot find watchdog.exe

[AlessioAgnese]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Cannot launch standalone or reboot when apple music (preview) is selected as service, it's searching for watchdog.exe and cannot find it
If I launch is manually (downloaded the zip from the other repo) it's working, btw I tried to manually create the path and copy the exe (and dll too) where the process is expecting it
It's just spamming this every 5 seconds (sorry the error is in italian language)

Can I give you need any other info you need?

Expected Behavior

No response

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Environment

- OS:Windows 11
- Version: 10.0.22621 build 22621
- Apple Music Preview: 1.1027.8705
- AMRCP: 4.3.0.0 (Windows Store version)

Anything else?

There is no log file because no AMRCP folder is created

I'm having the same issue here. As a workaround, I downloaded the v4.3.0 beta 4 installer.

I found this in the Discord that it worked for someone, maybe you can try it out to see if it works for you too:

Somehow the app not automatically install watchdog to make it run, so you have to put files in manual:

• Get watchdog here: https://github.com/zephraOSS/AMRPC-WatchDog
• Extract it
• Put extracted folder in error location: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\ARMPC\watchdog\watchdog.exe (make new ARMPC folder obviously because it is not exist yet)
• Run the app and enjoy

I'm also having this issue on AMRPC installed from Microsoft Store. Probably because Watchdog isn't downloaded to %AppData%\AMRPC but is instead downloaded to %LocalAppData%\packages\62976zephra.AMRPC_xe0z77jsegffp\LocalCache\Roaming\amrpc because of the sandboxing applied to Microsoft Store apps. Logs are also stored there instead of in %AppData%\AMRPC: main.log

install the github version beta 3 and then you can update fixed it for me :)
