Program Crash

[Maelstorm]

Everytime that I click next from User Account, the program crashes.

Exception Information

Code: 0xc0000001d Flags: 0x00000000

Record: 0x0000000000000000 Address: 0x00000000004154a1

There's more information, but it will not let me do a copy/paste operation.

[BenjaminKalytta]

Please can you show me your install.ini?

Benjamin Kalytta

I tried a couple. Your default install.ini failed as well as this one:

;test.ini

[Environment]

[settings]

DiableLoadMenu = 0
SplitterPos = 40%
Dimension.Update = 0
Dimension.Width =60%
Dimension.Height =60%

[Test]

selected=1
collapsed=1
helptext=This is a test
command=nocmd.cmd

But, if I do this:

wihu /SkipSettings /ini="install.ini"

it works just fine. It's only when I hit NEXT on that second screen that it dies. Oh, and I did a lookup on the 1d exception...Illegal Instruction. Here's the disassembly:

004154BD  movss	   xmm0,dword ptr [ebp+10h] 
004154C2  mov		 dword ptr [esi+24h],ecx

I'm running a AMD Thunderbird 1400MHz. I've attached the core dump from the failure as well. Program version is 2.1.25.2 as stated in the exe file resource. One other thing, I had to add a .txt to the dmp file, so you will need to remove it before you work with it.

Thank you very much Maelstorm, it seems to be a problem with older cpu's. Please try my new version WIHU 2.2 (Final), the bug should be fixed there.

Benjamin Kalytta

[Maelstorm]

It works now.

Just out of curiosity, what development platform are you running? I have Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 and it says that it cannot edit ver 8.0 project files, while Visual Studio .NET 2005 says it want's to convert the project to the new format.

[BenjaminKalytta]

Im using Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0), so you should be able to open it.

May be one could port it to MinGW GCC?

Benjamin Kalytta

[Maelstorm]

I'm using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and it doesn't want to build correctly. I keep getting a bunch of errors what I try to compile the source. I think it may have something to do with the Platform SDK that I have loaded in the machine.

What does your include/lib paths look like?

[BenjaminKalytta]

Can you send me the error log? There shouldn't be any errors, only warnings.

Benjamin

[Maelstorm]

Sure.

[BenjaminKalytta]

Oh, that seems that Platform SDK is completely not installed or not detected. You have to add Platform SDK Include Directory in Visual Studio. See Menu "Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories"

It may be because your processor is malfunctioning. Did you test it with a 24-hour run of Prime95?

Um...No.

If that was the case, then the machine would be crashing all the time...or at least all the programs would start going squirlly at the very least. I haven't seen a blue screen in quite some time now.

[BenjaminKalytta]

@RJARRRPCGP: The problem was the unsupported cpu instruction which causes the program to crash.

Why. Does it require SSE? I do know that T-birds don't support SSE, even SSE 1! T-birds don't support SSE at all!

Only Athlon XP Palominos and later support SSE!

Also, Prime95 is demanding. You can think that your processor is working properly, but Prime95 still fails.

If Prime95 keeps on failing, you have a faulty processor, motherboard malfunction or your require a power supply with more watts.
