Python Error Running Script #490

Closed SoccerNerd closed 1 year ago

SoccerNerd commented 1 year ago

Installed on new PC and I am getting the following Python error. This did not occur on old system.

I do have Python 3.11 installed on my new PC, not sure if this would result in issues.

------------------- PYTHON ERROR ------------------------ Caught StandardError: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Well, the scraper plugin uses Iron Python 2.7, but that is installed with the rest of ComicRack, so I don't see how having Python 3 on your system would affect it.

I believe you can press Ctrl-shift-L while a scraper window has keyboard focus and it should save out a more complete log file that might give you a better hint about what's going on.

I tried Ctrl-shift-L and did not generate any additional information in the log file. I am also getting some other ComicRack minor errors so might be a permissions issue on the new PC. Will play around with it some more.

OK, this might have been related to another issue with ComicRack. I was getting an annoying pop up everytime I started that was complaining about "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms". But the app seemed to work fine with the exception of Comicvine.

I found a solution to the ComicRack error by setting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy key in the registry to 0 (off).

I no longer received the ComicRack pop-up warning, and it seems to have also allowed Comicvine to run correctly as well.

Posting here in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.
