Driver store Explorer v 0.11.20 crashes on win7

[jvidalw]

Well, the title pretty much sums it up. version 0.11.20 crashes under Win7 x64. Works on win8.1 and win10 Forgot to mention, it crashes immediately after double clicking the exe. It won't even open.

Version 0.11.18 works.

I hope you can fix it

PS:

These errors appear in the event viewer:

hope it helps.

Can you provide Rapr.log? It is usually in the same folder as the Rapr.exe.

[jvidalw]

I updated my original post with info from the windows event viewer. Let me look for the log file. Unfortunately, there is no log in the same folder as rapr.exe

[jvidalw]

Never mind, I found the problem. When rapr.exe.config is missing, it crashes. Strangely, previous versions worked without that file... also, v 0.11.20 works on win81 & win10 with the .config file...

[lostindark]

The rapr.exe.config contains some important info (like userSettings, log listener settings) for the app to run correctly. If there is a user.config file in the system, but there is no rapr.exe.config, the app don't know how to handle the settings, so it crashed.

If the app was first started without the rapr.exe.config, the user.config will be created with the userSettings, so the app can continue run without the rapr.exe.config.

[jvidalw]

I get it, but why it crashes only on win7 if the config file is missing and not on win81/10? And, like I said, previous versions worked just fine without the file...strange.

[lostindark]

The app will crash when it meets all the following condition:

1. No rapr.exe.config
2. user.config exists and there is no userSettings configSections.

So if you've run DSE with rapr.exe.config in the system the first time, it will generate a user.config without userSEttings configSections. If you run DSE without rapr.exe.config in the system the first time, it will generate a user.config with userSettings configSections.

It totally depends on how you run DSE the first time with that system.

funny thing is had never run it with rapr.exe.config before (previous versions) in any OS and it always worked, and v.0.11.20 worked on win81/10, but not on win7. I run it from the same folder on the three OSes... Anyway, besides the mystery, it's not really important, since I am able to run it now. thanks for your time!

[lostindark]

The app settings system is not designed to use without the exe.config. I'm closing this issue.
