I was able to install Alchemy, but when I run it, the process shows in the Windows Task Manager, but Alchemy never shows on screen.
I noticed in the Alchemy-0.log file the following:
Is there some way to fix this?

Try making a change to the Alchemy.cfg file located in C:\Program Files\Alchemy\app
Add a -D command at the end of java-options - each line proceeded with "java-options="
You'll also need to add whatever certificate is being used to the truststore.

2.5.0 is the version. This is a fresh PC where it has never been installed before. I downloaded the install package. Installed it however the UI never opened. Rebooted and attempted again. Killed the task and made the changes to the cfg by adding the -D. When I attempt to open now it does not load at all. Removing the -D allows it to open in task manager by no UI.

Brian, what version of Alchemy do you have installed? Please note that modifications to the Alchemy.cfg will be reverted on a new install of Alchemy, so it would have to be updated again after a new install or upgrade.

I know this is an older post. But I having exactly the same issue. When I add -D the .exe doesn't open at all and logs nothing. Here is the contents of the log file when executing exactly as it was installed. Any ideas? I can't open the software at all.
