Hi, I recently tried to run Canton on Windows 11 and below error . Is there any way to fix that or workaround ? I have installed DAML SDK version 2.6.3 on my Windows 11 notebook.

Hi @el_daml01, You are likely actually missing the actual Create Daml APP (create-daml-app) from your filepath. I am using Ubuntu Linux, but I was able to get this example working correctly using the Linux version of your command: `bin/canton -c examples/04-create-daml-app/canton.conf --bootstrap examples/04-create-daml-app/init.canton` Process: > **\# Run the Canton Examples command** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3 $ bin/canton -c examples/04-create-daml-app/canton.conf --bootstrap examples/04-create-daml-app/init.canton > Compiling (synthetic)/ammonite/predef/ArgsPredef.sc > Compiling /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/(console) > Compiling /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/Main.sc > ERROR c.d.c.ConsoleInteractiveRunner - Running bootstrap script failed with an exception (please setup the create-daml-app example in the current working directly under /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app)! > please setup the create-daml-app example in the current working directly under /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app > **\# Create the new Daml app** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3 $ daml new --template create-daml-app create-daml-app > Created a new project in “create-daml-app” based on the template “create-daml-app”. > **\# Rerun the Canton Examples command** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3 $ bin/canton -c examples/04-create-daml-app/canton.conf --bootstrap examples/04-create-daml-app/init.canton > Compiling /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/Main.sc > ERROR c.d.c.ConsoleInteractiveRunner - Running bootstrap script failed with an exception (please run daml build in the create-daml-app folder to build the dar file /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app/.daml/dist/create-daml-app-0.1.0.dar)! > please run daml build in the create-daml-app folder to build the dar file /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app/.daml/dist/create-daml-app-0.1.0.dar > **\# Build the new Daml app** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3 $ cd create-daml-app/ > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app $ daml build > > 2023-05-07 21:47:34.44 [INFO] [build] > Compiling create-daml-app to a DAR. > > 2023-05-07 21:47:35.06 [INFO] [build] > Created .daml/dist/create-daml-app-0.1.0.dar > **\# Change back to the Canton Open Source main directory** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/create-daml-app $ cd … > **\# Rerun the Canton Examples command** > > ben\_m ~/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3 $ bin/canton -c examples/04-create-daml-app/canton.conf --bootstrap examples/04-create-daml-app/init.canton > Compiling /home/ben\_m/opt/canton-open-source-2.6.3/Main.sc > **CANTON** > > Welcome to Canton! > Type `help` to get started. `exit` to leave. > > @ I tested this process on Canton Enterprise v2.6.2, v2.6.3 and Canton Open Source v2.6.3.
