Doesn't work on windows 7 and 8 Visual Studio throws System.TypeInitializationException

Swizzy commented 9 years ago

Can you give me more details as to where this exception is thrown?

Are you using 32 or 64-bit windows?

It's been tested by me on windows 8.1 (64-bit) and by littlebalup on windows 7...

I'd also like to know if you're running native windows or some form of Virtualization software (like Parallels Desktop)

dangreen commented 9 years ago

@Swizzy 64-bit windows, Parallels Desktop. Some people have this problem on native windows .

Swizzy commented 9 years ago

That'd be your problem then, Parallels Desktop... it messes up paths...

https://github.com/Swizzy/PS3DumpChecker/blob/master/src/PS3DumpChecker/Program.cs#L12 <--- this is the faulting line, there are 3 ways you can solve this;

  1. Switch to something that doesn't f*ck with the paths
  2. Run it in a real windows environment (basically the same as 1 really)
  3. Change how the functionality for the icon works so that it doesn't ask windows to find the associated file but rather use a embedded one... i haven't done this because i'm a big fan of minimizing unnecessary data... (having the icon embedded in 2 places is to me stupid when it can be done with just having it embedded for windows display and being able to extract it from there)

Essentially, i'd contact Parallels Desktop developers and tell them to fix the issue...

@Swizzy what if i remove AppIcon?

Swizzy commented 9 years ago

You can remove it, but then you also have to remove all the references to it... and it'll cause it to not show the icon in the forms...

@Swizzy ok, thank you
