--- Comment #3 from Louis Lenders xerox.xerox2000x@gmail.com --- Just an additional note:
Tortoise github suggests there are several registry-keys to tweak it ***
....... , m_regUseRibbons(L"Software\TortoiseGitMerge\UseRibbons", TRUE)
....... if (m_bUseRibbons)
Except from relay log i found the regkey is not called TortoiseGitMerge but rather TortoiseMerge:
00f4:Call ucrtbase.wcslen(14009a4e0 L"Software\TortoiseMerge\UseRibbons") ret=00addd8b
So after creating a DWORD "HKCU\Software\TortoiseMerge\UseRibbons" and set it to FALSE the application starts fine.
Maybe it doesn`t look as fancy, but the workaround is I guess easier then using native dlls.
