problem running nightly build

[carnykur]

well, i've got this problem: i install c::b and it runs alright. then i copy files from nightlybuild into c::b folder but after that c::b rises an exception that it cann not read default.workspace file, actualy it claims that it can not read an end tag and than application stops. A few times it ran on, but raised lots of another exceptions about missing starting points of procedures in various dll's. i reinstalled c::b several times, i tried to delete the workspace file, but nothing worked.

i keep reinstalling and trying anything i can thing of and i'll be thankfull for any advice. i'm running on win xp.

I'm assuming you're running Windows:

I think it's recommanded not to install a Night Build in the same folder than a C::B release.
Just uninstall your C::B release and create a new directory for the last NB where you will unzip the content of the Night Build .7z (with the two dlls needed : They can be downloaded from the same page than the NB package)
Then, you will just need to install a compiler (let's say MinGW) in another new directory.

One more thing : if you've installed a NB and want to install a newer NB, personnally, I delete evreything in the directory.
It happened to me that it has solved somes bugs in a NB.

thanks. i found out, what was problem. c::b stored its configuration files in two places. i deleted files reported  in first exeption message and after that i did not read messages properly my fault.
