Manel,

It works!! :)

I just want to express how happy I am for you that you got to fix the problem quickly. It's much better that way considering there will be a lot more people upating BLIde tomorrow, and so on!

I also want to thank you for such a great program! :)

Just crashes on startup with a message 'Length must be greater or equal to zero' This is after a full uninstall and installing the latest one.

Same problem here.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.


EDIT:
After removing the contents of my mod folder and doing a syncmods I get a different error. Blide seems to parse the mods and then:

Did you recycle some old text on the blide page? :-)

INSTALL THIS VERSION IF YOU ARE NEW TO BLIDE, OR YOU'RE UPGRADING FROM 0.2.8


0.2.8?

ziggy
 #11
EVERYBODY. UPDATE TO VERSION 0.6.1 at http://www.blide.org

@xlsior: This release don't need any debuger, it working fine. It may be some error in your .NET 1.1 framework. Be sure to have all windows updates up to date. And, it's not recycled text, you can upgrades from 0.2.8 to 0.6.0 directly as the binaries are diferents enough. :D

GW
 #12
The length exception still happens with 0.6.1
just FYI.

ziggy
 #13
What mods do you have in your mod folder, GW? Does any of your mod folders have a dot in its folder name?

GW
 #14
A dot in the folder name?
they all do. 'Brl.mod' 'Pub.mod' ect..

Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I can't get this to work.

I had previously completely uninstalled Blide (due to the inability to get 0.5.4 to work). I alsmo manually removed the folder, and references to Blide from the registry.

0.5.0 works. the upgrade to 0.5.3 works.
0.5.4, 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 do not, they all crash immediately after launching with the error I mentioned in my other posting. It does not matter if I do them as a fresh install, or as an 'upgrade'.

I uninstalled .NET framework 1.1, and installed 2.0. Then Blide gave me an error saying it requires the .NET Framework version 1.1.4322, and to please install it and run the setup again. (which, as a side note, may present a problem when 2.0 becomes the new standard?)

Anyway, I did a system restore to the point before my .net 2.0 install, and installed a copy of 1.1 (downloaded fresh from the microsoft.com website)
The problem still persists: I can install blide 0.6.1 without problem, but immediately on launch of crashes on my.

removing 0.6.1 and reinstalling 0.5.0 and it works OK -- it asks me for the blitz installation folder, and everything is fine. I can upgrade to 0.5.3 and things still work. But 0.5.4 or above will not.

when I do a fresh install of the higher versions, it won't even get to the point where it asks me for the blitz installation directory, it immediately crashes.

Not sure what else I can tell you, but I tried pretty much everything I can think of without success.

I also tried temporarily moving all module folders other than BRL.MOD and PUB.MOD elsewhere, in case it's one of them interfering with the blide launch process... doesn't seem to make any difference.

Does blide have any other dependencies? For example, does it need to have MinGW installed, or other 3rd party tools? I have a fairly minimalistic system, so it's possible that I'm missing something else that you're searching for?

I tried to run Sysinternals' FileMonitor, and it doesn't indicate any attempts from Blide to open non-existing files, but who knows what it's looking around for...

I'm running windows XP Professional, SP2, US English, and up to date with all the recommended security patches. BlitzMax 1.14.
