You may be experiencing the app immediately crashing (or not appearing to start). This is a known issue that has been fixed in the next version (v6.2) but you can fix it yourself in the following ways:


  • v6.0: 
    • Windows: 
      • What's happening: The problem is that the application is likely tripping over itself by trying to read a file while it is also writing to the same file. This is fixed in v6.1 by adding locks to files while they are in use.
      • Solution: Upgrade to v6.1 by installing from bulkeditcalendarevents.com/downloads (and see note below about v6.1 issues)
    • macOS:
      • What's happening: The problem is that there is an issue with .NET Core 3.1 where opening a url in your browser throws an error. This is fixed in v6.1 where the application has been upgraded to .NET 5.
      • Solution: Upgrade to v6.1 by installing from bulkeditcalendarevents.com/downloads (and see note below about v6.1 issues)
  • v6.1:
    • (All platforms):
      • What's happening: The problem is that the application is expecting a setting to be present but it is absent. This more often affects users upgrading from a version earlier than 6.0. This is fixed in v6.2 by initializing that setting if it does not exist
      • Solution:
        1. Close the program (kill it from Task Manager if you need to: Ctrl+Shift+Esc on Windows & Cmd+Alt+Esc on macOS)
        2. Open your settings path (reference this article, then go up one folder: Article: How to view log files & crash details), then open the "Settings.xml" in a text editor like Notepad (do not use Word or another rich text editor)
        3. Below the 2nd line (that should look start with "<Settings") add the following: <ModalCreator />
        4. Save the file and try to open the program again
