Proxy Client Error Message #14

Closed CyberLinkSys closed 10 years ago

CyberLinkSys commented 10 years ago

Whenever I execute dnscrypt-winclient.exe this message pops up: "DNSCrypt Proxy Client has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." What should I do to prevent this error from happening? dnscrypt

What version of Windows are you using? What version of the DNSCrypt Proxy are you using? What version of .NET do you have installed?

CyberLinkSys commented 10 years ago

It's Windows XP SP3, DNSCrypt Proxy 1.3.3. All versions of .NET are installed from windows update: 1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1, 4.0 Extended. dotnet

What were you trying to do when that happened? I just tested on an XP SP3 system and it worked fine.

CyberLinkSys commented 10 years ago

I extracted the necessary files from dnscrypt-proxy-win32-1.3.3.zip to the directory of the release version of dnscrypt-winclient.exe and double-clicked on the windows client, then that error happened. I have used "DNSCrypt Service Manager" and "OpenDNSCrypt" before (on the same windows XP PC) without a problem. Could this be related to the installation of .NET frameworks? Should I reinstall them? How could I use the debug version to find out why this error persists? Thanks for your comments.

Just run the debug binary like you would the normal one. It may give a backtrace on that error screen which would be helpful. Regarding the .NET frameworks, my XP machine has all of those except the .NET 4 Extended patch.
