Zotero.exe gone after crash on Win7

IsaakM · December 18, 2017

I'm on Windows 7 and I had a crash, where my screen just went black. No BDOS crash (blue screen). I had to try to reboot Windows a couple of times. Then, when I got back into Windows, I tried to start Zotero from the task bar, where I pinned it. It told me that the link to the .exe was no longer valid and I checked the Zotero folder. Most of the stuff seems to be still there, but Zotero.exe is seemingly gone. I don't know what caused this crash and the disappearance of the Zotero.exe.

I would recommend checking your disk for errors.

Beyond that, you should just reinstall Zotero from the download page.

Thanks! Can I restore my library from my WebDAV or what would be the best way to go about it?

Your data is unaffected. You just need to reinstall the application.
