Running the hello world example from the basic tutorial and I get the following error running the hello world project creation demo: C:\Users\Me\Documents\CrayonProjects>crayon -genDefaultProject HelloWorld

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+.
   at System.Drawing.Image.Save(String filename, ImageCodecInfo encoder, EncoderParameters encoderParams)

Weird...this is definitely the code saving the default icon file but if the crash is coming from GDI itself, so I'm kind of at a loss.

This might help me, though:

Which version of .NET do you have installed?
Which version of Windows are you running?

You can check your .NET version by opening the folders C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64 and finding the highest directory name.

Sorry, there's actually one more step to find the version:

Go into the Framework/Framework64 folder
find one of the main DLL files such as mscorlib.dll and right click on it and go to properties
Click on the Details tab
Look at the File version field.

Windows 10 Pro So the highest directory name is: v4.0.30319 and the File version field is: 10.0.17134.1

Ah I discovered it was bit defender that was blocking it. It works fine now :)

blakeohare commented 5 years ago

Oh dear. Good to know, although compiler crashing is still not acceptable behavior. I may send you an experimental build and ask you to try to reproduce the error and see if it gives better messaging, if that's okay with you.

peter-fm commented 5 years ago

of course, no problem.
