ok thanks!  if you dont mind, can you try a few things for me in the meantime until I can get the next debug version ready:

1.
     a.  delete "settings.ini" from the folder and try starting up Bit_Che.exe   --  does it crash right away?
     b.  update scripts, do search, at that point it crashes for you?  and then it crashes at start up? then try step a. and see if it starts again without crashing.

2.  when you have Bit Che crashing upon every startup, can you try disabling Avira and then starting Bit Che again?  I just want to rule out the antivirus from any memory protection issues.

thanks!  hope to have another debug version later tonight.

a. 90% usually crash right away.
b. sometimes i can update it but it crashed!.

2. i tried and the same thing happen.

i noticed something .. when i open Bit Che with "error.txt" you give it to me yesterday
always crash but in 10 time i open it, 1 time works fine! i can search and everything!

In my experience, if there is a bug in the Bit Che code, then the application will crash 100% of the time. But when the code crashes sometimes or behaves differently occasionally, *usually* this means there is a problem with the host computer environment instead. I tend to look at antivirus software first.

If your computer was mine, it would do a bunch of tests.. such as try to run Bit Che in "Safe-Mode" (reboot the computer first, hit F8, then boot "Safe Mode"). In that environment, we can pretty much guarantee that no 3rd party software is tinkering with Bit Che (because antivirus is *fully* disabled, etc).

Then, from standard boot mode, I would also check the Windows Application log for any strange entries that are produced every time Bit Che crashes: 
1. right click on "Computer" from the "Start Menu"
2. select "Manage"
3. then go to this view:  "Computer Management | System Tools | Event Viewer | Windows Logs | Application"


I'm not sure if you have the patience to do those tests for me, but if you do, that might help us narrow down whats causing the crash (if it is truly not a problem with the Bit Che code).

But since you said that it did run OK 1 time, I'm not really sure that the debug version is going to help us since whatever the issue is, its not 100% reproducible. Also, we have not been able to confirm those bugs on anyone else's system and it ran fine on my Win 7 32bit test machine.

let me know your thoughts, thanks!

modi84,

new idea... lets try and track down the Windows error report!

STEP 1

1.  download the attached AppCrashView.exe
2.  run it, and select any entries that are "bit_che.exe"  (hold shift to select multiple items)
3.  go to File, and "Save Selected Items"
4.  save this file and upload the .txt here to me


STEP 2


1.  download the attached WinCrashReport.exe
2.  Run Bit_Che.exe and get it to crash. Do not press "Close Application"!!
3.  with the crash window still displayed, run WinCrashReport.exe and select "bit_che.exe"
4.  go to File, and "Save This Crash Report"
5.  save this file and upload the .txt here to me

and can you repeat this Step 2 a couple times.. that way I can compare a few reports.

then hopefully we'll have a good idea of why its crashing.. !!

thanks in advance!

[modi84]

entered the save mode .. and Bit Che works good!!  

oh and i replace my "Avira Antivirus" to "ESET NOD32" lol

.txt

ok... from the AppCrash log, looks like this module was causing a problem:  'zlibwapi.dll'.

now, i was using a compressed version of this file to cut down on file size.

but here is the uncompressed version (attached)..

can you replace this attached file with the ones in this location:

C:\Users\Modi84\AppData\Roaming\Convivea\Bit_Che\zlibwapi.dll

and if you still use these paths for the bit_che beta:
C:\Users\Modi84\Desktop\New folder\
C:\Users\Modi84\Desktop\b\

separately, i'll work on a new debug version that specifically targets when Bit Che interacts with that .dll

thanks for your help!!

[chip!]

and finally.. here is a revised debug version of Bit_Che.exe that will avoid calls to zlibwapi.dll if its not loaded.   this will not download and extract scripts if the zlibwapi.dll is not loaded.

can you send me the error.txt

thanks!

[modi84]

at first i replace zlibwapi.dll in all 3 folders .. nothing change  

now i tried the new Bit Che .. same old same old  crash  


.................... the error.txt




Edit: and thank you for being so patient with me  

[chip!]

well, guess its not a problem with that one

so, now lets test one of the bigger changes from 1.x to 2.x, the new listview.

attached is an .rar with 4 .exes

1. Bit_Che_debug.exe
2. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass.exe
3. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass_noOIP.exe
4. Bit_Che_debug_nosubclass_noOIP_noLV.exe

can you run them all one at a time, and save  error.txt to   error#.txt where # is the 1,2,3,4?



thanks  

[modi84]

finally just the first one "Bit_Che_debu" works good but kinda laggy!

do 2,3,4 all crash still ? but #1 doesnt crash?  


EDIT:   also, are you still using the application "Internet Download Manager"?  One of that programs's modules is loaded into Bit Che because that is putting a system wide hook in place. If you do not need it, can you uninstall so we can continue testing Bit Che without 3rd party files being loaded too.   (afterwards, you could always re-install that app if you need it)..

C:\Program Files\Internet Download Manager\idmmkb.dll

[modi84]

yes 2,3,4 all crash

after uninstall IDM what i do ? 

[chip!]

yes 2,3,4 all crash

after uninstall IDM what i do ? 

the idea is to see if that changes anything.. or if Bit Che still crashes with that removed.

i guess the good news for me is that the new ListView is not crashing Bit Che, but I'm a little perplexed as to why #1 works fine. I'll have to continue to look at it later tonight / this weekend.

thanks for your patience!

[modi84]

after remove IDM nothing change, all the same as before
