codeblocks.exe has stopped working

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hey jens, thanks again for helping..

I looked in all the mentioned folders, and even searched for the cfg file.  I would attach one, but C::B hasn't made a config file since I re-installed it after this started happening, but alias.. even re-installing didn't work, so I'm stuck using a VirtualBox till I can get this fixed :(

Jenna:
If C::B suddenly stopped working, that means if you ever have been able to start C::B and close it cleanly, the default.conf surely exists.
Uninstalling C::B does not remove it.

As posted I don't know the location on neither on vista nor on win7, but you can try the following command from the command-prompt (Not sure if it still works on win7):

--- Code: ---echo %APPDATA%
--- End code ---
it should point you to the directory, where you find C::B's conf-folder (named codeblocks and containing at least default.conf).

To verify, whether your default.conf is broken or not, you can also start C::B from the command-prompt (if it still exists on win7) with another personality :

--- Code: ---codeblocks -p test
--- End code ---
where test is the name of the personality, you can use everything except "default" .

I tried running from cmd prompt, get the same error APPCRASH, then a popup with:

codeblocks.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005).  Click OK to close the application.
[OK]

Also.. I uninstalled every bit of c::b manually, like I do every application (meaning removing all folders/files from the app, aswell as registry keys.. I'm just crazy like that).  With that being said.. in the %APPDATA% folder 'codeblocks' or anything for that matter dealing with c::b does NOT exist.  I also checked where the actual bin is, no error file or config?

oBFusCATed:
That error means that you have missing dlls or problems with the Visual C/C++ runtime...
I don't know more :(
You can try to find the missing dll with this tool: http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Good luck

Search your HDD for a file named default.conf to make very sure there is no old configuration. Concerning Registry: I can assure you that C::B does not use it. Did you tried updating the MinGW runtime as I suggested?
