Windows Notes

Exaile has official support for Microsoft Windows, and is distributed in an official installer program.

Exaile (and its installer) has been tested on Windows 10.

Running Exaile

If you installed Exaile using the Windows installer, you can find a shortcut to launch Exaile in the Start Menu.

Alternatively, you can directly launch “exaile_win.py” in the source directory. This requires you to have an MSYS2 environment set up.

Bug Reporting

If Exaile crashes, you should be able to find a logfile from the last time Exaile was launched in the following directories:

  • Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\exaile\logs

  • Windows 7+: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\exaile\logs

If you run into any bugs not mentioned in this document, please report them to us via GitHub. Please include any relevant logfile snippets.
