Stuck on "Welcome to Local by Flywheel" installation screen

After having some issues with my existing local by flywheel sites, I decided to start from scratch. I deleted my old vm’s and also reinstalled Local by Flywheel, and I’m getting stuck on the “Welcome to Local by Flywheel” installation process - screenshot here: https://cl.ly/f8a33ef46ef3. It looks like there is an error in the code - message: 'Cannot read property \'forEach\' of null',

local-by-flywheel.log (194.8 KB)

Thanks for sharing the log files, that was helpful. Considering that you already deleted the existing VM, I would recommend the following:

  1. Go to VirtualBox and delete the VM again
  2. Delete ~/.docker/machine/machines/local-by-flywheel (use Command + Shift + G in Finder to see this directory)
  3. Re-open Local

Note to other readers: this process is destructive and you can lose site databases if you do not have recent SQL/database dumps.

Let us know if that helps!

unfortunately that didnt work :frowning: it’s still stuck on that Welcome to Local by Flywheel page. the last entry in the log is:

@andypeters ^
any other suggestions? im really stuck here :pensive:

Hey I was having the same issue on my Win 10 system and the following fixed it:

  1. Uninstall Local by Flywheel and VirtualBox
  2. Install VirtualBox separately and make sure updated to latest version.
  3. Install Local by Flywheel

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks @catmatteson! Unfortunately i tried that and couldn’t get it to work. Now I have a new error:
