LameXP.2015-10-23.Release-Static.Build-1818.exe causes crash #27

Closed foggyxp closed 8 years ago

foggyxp commented 8 years ago

update or new installation trial with LameXP.2015-10-23.Release-Static.Build-1818.exe (v4.12) causes blue screen-crash during installation process (antivirus disabled, windows 7 pro 64 bit). This never happend with older versions. Starting LameXP.exe out of the estracted zip-File works well.

I have no idea. Actually, user-space programs, like LameXP or the LameXP setup program, can not cause BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) – neither accidentally nor willingly – because they do not have kernel-mode privileges. Would be pretty dreadful, if a single program could crash the whole system.

Thus, if you encounter BSoD, this is either because of a bug in the operating system itself, or, more likely, the fault of a buggy device driver. Well, it could also be a hardware issue, e.g. corrupted memory module. Anyway, if the BSoD occurred while installing LameXP, then this was just a coincidence – a symptom of some other problem. LameXP or the LameXP installer are not the actual cause of the problem.

Having said that: Is the problem reproducible, i.e. does it happen every time that you try to install LameXP r1818? And does it happen never when you install LameXP r1700? This would be pretty weird, because the installer doesn't do anything special, really. It's just a pretty boring NSIS installer. And the changes to the installer between r1700 and r1818 are minuscule – and certainly nothing that could cause a BSoD.

I tried LameXP.2015-10-23.Release-Static.Build-1818.exe several times, always resulting in BSoD. So right now I tried LameXP.2015-04-05.Release-Static.Build-1700.exe -> no problem. I have no idea of the problem. Runnig LameXP.exe v4.12 out of the zip-File is ok.

Windows7 Pro restart-Information after BSoD:

Almost certainly not a LameXP-related issue:

Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF8032131983F, 0xFFFFD0002562EE60, 0x0) Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System company: Microsoft Corporation description: NT Kernel & System Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code. This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

As there seems to be no indication that anything is wrong on LameXP's side, I'm gonna close this one.
