Problem starting 2.9.4 Beta

Having some issues with the new 2.9.4 Beta, (and the same problem
happend with 2.9.3)
It's crashing out at startup (screen shots attached), both when
started from the start menu and when double clicking on a blw file
When double clicking on a file, it seems to sort of display the table
of data, but then crashes before it resizes the control to the full
area of the window
This is running on Windows 7 64 bit. There's nothing particularly odd
about the machine, other than having My Documents (and Pictures, Music
etc) configured on a separate drive
I though I had seen something on the mailing list on a means to run
sailwave with some extra loggin/debug turned on to try and see what
the issue is, but I can't seem to find those messages
This machine was running an older previously. Unfortunately, I cant
remember what version, probably one that was released back around
August/September last season

Any ideas what I can try to do to get things working?

Having said that the new beta runs fine on my Mac Air under Wine to
process results using the new RYA NHC, apart from there appearing to
be no Exit option on the File menu

Thanks
Steve

Sorry should have added that I answered No to the initial upgrade prompt, since it is listing an older version than the current beta

One part of your problem can be fixed by unchecking the box `Check for newer versions ... ' under Setup / Global Options

Hi Steve,

The NewVersion message is because 2.9.4 is a Beta and the version check says that the one you are running is not the current latest version - which is true but perhaps it should be a bit more intelligent, you can turn off the check for new version when you are running a beta version if you want to stop the message appearing.

StoppedWorking

This is a strange one but as you were running a previous version before it might be something to do with the Manifest file that Colin supplied with some versions. I’ve found that it works best without this file and had a similar problem with on 64 bit machine. Using Windows explorer goto the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave directory and make sure there is no sailwave.manifest file present.

If this does not work it may be because somewhere windows has cached this info. Try renaming the file Sailwave.exe to Sailwave2.exe and then double click to run it. I know it sounds strange but I’ve seen this work just by changing its name to not be Sailwave. If someone knows where it is storing this / how to fix it please let us know as I spent half an hour looking the other day and failed!!

Many thanks for the feedback on the success in running 2.9.4 and the NHC code on the Mac. The missing Exit is very strange although I guess Alt-F4 would work as a get around?

I’m sure if you could spend the time to Write up the “how you installed it on the Mac” with which versions and best place to download the Wine from etc it would be greatly appreciated by many users and if you like we could put it on the Sailwave site.

If you can’t get to the global options because of the crash you can turn off the start up check using the registry.

close sailwave

windows start menu - run

regedit

navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Sailwave/Options

double-click on CheckUpdates

set the value to 0

OK

Exit RegEdit

Had a bit of an unproductive evening trying your suggestions and other things

I’ve tried a complete uninstall, and reboot, and removed all references to sailwave left in regedit, then another reboot and a clean install of 2.9.4

It still exhibits the same behaviour :frowning:

Then I tried the rename of sailwave.exe, and still no joy.

I also tried installing it into c:/sailwave incase the brackets in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave were causing any issues.

Out of interest I then did a plain uninstall of 2.9.4 and straightaway installed 2.8.5 with the defaults, and it works without any issues, minus the NHC stuff.

Just on the off chance I uninstalled 2.8.5 and reinstalled 2.9.4 but it is back to being unable to start, so it does appear to be something confined to the new beta versions

Is there any sort of additional logging that can be turned on or crash reports that should be generated to help diagnose the problem?

Regarding the Mac install

I can’t remember the exact details of what I did, but I know I have Xquartz and WineBottler installed

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

I think all I did after installing them was to just run the sw2_9_4.exe installer and it just worked.

The only quirk is that double clicking on a .blw file doesn’t work, you have to start Sailwave and then File -> Open and browse to the file to open it.

If I remember any more of the details I’ll let you know

Hi Steve,

Shouldn’t be a problem with the (x86) as I have also installed on my Laptop which is 64bit Windows 7 and it runs fine on that. It is installed to the default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave

As for debugging there is a logbook which you can read from the help menu but as its crashing you won’t be able to do that.

You can as run Microsoft’s (sysinternals) DbgView available free from DebugView Link. There are some messages output to this while it is doing the NHC work but at startup there is only one which should say “Subclass done”

In your screen shot where it says that it is checking online for a solution, when it returns does it not give you an option to View problem details and if you use the drop down it gives you more details of the problem.

I prefer to see this before it automatically checks online. To configure this:-

Open the control panel and go to the “Action Center” - Quick way is to click Start and then type in Action in the box

Now click on Maintenance

Then for the section “Check for solutions to problem reports” click the Settings option.

select the option “Each time a problem occurs, ask me before checking for solutions”

You should now be able to see what is causing the crash

Why does nothing stay the same? Waking up after my winter sleep I decide to do a test run before the new season. I press Publish and nothing happens. Is it me?

And this list of DLLs got me to thinking; I make use of a desktop sharing app called TeamViewer, and it occurred to me that it adds an icon to the top of each application window to allow quick sharing of that application. I disabled it for sailwave, and then I can start sailwave without it crashing. I guess its attempt to attach itself to the Sailwave window during startup must be causing some issue. I can live without TeamViewer for sharing specific applications so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks for the quick responses and help. It really highlights the usefulness of a support community like this.

Onwards to running last years club results against the new RYA NHC to see what (if any) difference there is, before suggesting to the members that it may be worth moving to … :slight_smile:

This is a strange one but as you were running a previous version before it might be something to do with the Manifest file that Colin supplied with some versions. I’ve found that it works best without this file and had a similar problem with on 64 bit machine. Using Windows explorer goto the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave directory and make sure there is no sailwave.manifest file present.

If this does not work it may be because somewhere windows has cached this info. Try renaming the file Sailwave.exe to Sailwave2.exe and then double click to run it. I know it sounds strange but I’ve seen this work just by changing its name to not be Sailwave. If someone knows where it is storing this / how to fix it please let us know as I spent half an hour looking the other day and failed!!

Many thanks for the feedback on the success in running 2.9.4 and the NHC code on the Mac. The missing Exit is very strange although I guess Alt-F4 would work as a get around?

I’m sure if you could spend the time to Write up the “how you installed it on the Mac” with which versions and best place to download the Wine from etc it would be greatly appreciated by many users and if you like we could put it on the Sailwave site.

Having some issues with the new 2.9.4 Beta, (and the same problem
happend with 2.9.3)
It’s crashing out at startup (screen shots attached), both when
started from the start menu and when double clicking on a blw file
When double clicking on a file, it seems to sort of display the table
of data, but then crashes before it resizes the control to the full
area of the window
This is running on Windows 7 64 bit. There’s nothing particularly odd
about the machine, other than having My Documents (and Pictures, Music
etc) configured on a separate drive
I though I had seen something on the mailing list on a means to run
sailwave with some extra loggin/debug turned on to try and see what
the issue is, but I can’t seem to find those messages
This machine was running an older previously. Unfortunately, I cant
remember what version, probably one that was released back around
August/September last season

Any ideas what I can try to do to get things working?

Having said that the new beta runs fine on my Mac Air under Wine to
process results using the new RYA NHC, apart from there appearing to
be no Exit option on the File menu

Thanks

Hi Steve,

That is great you fixed it. When I get a few hours to spare I’ll see if I can replicate it with Teamviewer. What version of TeamViewer are you using? I have a License for version 5 which I’ve not upgraded because 5 does all I need as I only use it for remote support. I also use GotoMyPC to control my own PC’s and this works OK with Sailwave. If you do ever have time to document the Mac install, that would be very useful.

On the subject of NHC - There are currently no changes that affect the Club calculation but for the Regatta mode

The following file needs to go into the Templates folder - This fixes an issue in Regatta ext/Debug mode where result codes with spaces look OK but don’t get processed correctly because they do not match exactly - This version Trims spaces from the result codes before testing them.

Regatta Mode Excel Template SWNHC4.xls

The following file needs to go into the Sailwave directory and fixes an ocassional rounding issue in the Regatta Mode when using internal mode.

SWHelper update

And this list of DLLs got me to thinking; I make use of a desktop sharing app called TeamViewer, and it occurred to me that it adds an icon to the top of each application window to allow quick sharing of that application. I disabled it for sailwave, and then I can start sailwave without it crashing. I guess its attempt to attach itself to the Sailwave window during startup must be causing some issue. I can live without TeamViewer for sharing specific applications so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks for the quick responses and help. It really highlights the usefulness of a support community like this.

Onwards to running last years club results against the new RYA NHC to see what (if any) difference there is, before suggesting to the members that it may be worth moving to … :slight_smile:

Hi Steve,

Shouldn’t be a problem with the (x86) as I have also installed on my Laptop which is 64bit Windows 7 and it runs fine on that. It is installed to the default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave

As for debugging there is a logbook which you can read from the help menu but as its crashing you won’t be able to do that.

You can as run Microsoft’s (sysinternals) DbgView available free from DebugView Link. There are some messages output to this while it is doing the NHC work but at startup there is only one which should say “Subclass done”

In your screen shot where it says that it is checking online for a solution, when it returns does it not give you an option to View problem details and if you use the drop down it gives you more details of the problem.

I prefer to see this before it automatically checks online. To configure this:-

Open the control panel and go to the “Action Center” - Quick way is to click Start and then type in Action in the box

Now click on Maintenance

Then for the section “Check for solutions to problem reports” click the Settings option.

select the option “Each time a problem occurs, ask me before checking for solutions”

You should now be able to see what is causing the crash

Had a bit of an unproductive evening trying your suggestions and other things

I’ve tried a complete uninstall, and reboot, and removed all references to sailwave left in regedit, then another reboot and a clean install of 2.9.4

It still exhibits the same behaviour :frowning:

Then I tried the rename of sailwave.exe, and still no joy.

I also tried installing it into c:/sailwave incase the brackets in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave were causing any issues.

Out of interest I then did a plain uninstall of 2.9.4 and straightaway installed 2.8.5 with the defaults, and it works without any issues, minus the NHC stuff.

Just on the off chance I uninstalled 2.8.5 and reinstalled 2.9.4 but it is back to being unable to start, so it does appear to be something confined to the new beta versions

Is there any sort of additional logging that can be turned on or crash reports that should be generated to help diagnose the problem?

Regarding the Mac install

I can’t remember the exact details of what I did, but I know I have Xquartz and WineBottler installed

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

I think all I did after installing them was to just run the sw2_9_4.exe installer and it just worked.

The only quirk is that double clicking on a .blw file doesn’t work, you have to start Sailwave and then File -> Open and browse to the file to open it.

If I remember any more of the details I’ll let you know

It was happening in TeamViewer version 7.0.14563 and I’ve just installed the latest version 8.0.17292 and it gives the same issue. Although like I said it’s not a feature of TeamViewer I used so I’m not worried about disabling it for sailwave

I’ll try and write something up for the Mac Install over the weekend

And this list of DLLs got me to thinking; I make use of a desktop sharing app called TeamViewer, and it occurred to me that it adds an icon to the top of each application window to allow quick sharing of that application. I disabled it for sailwave, and then I can start sailwave without it crashing. I guess its attempt to attach itself to the Sailwave window during startup must be causing some issue. I can live without TeamViewer for sharing specific applications so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks for the quick responses and help. It really highlights the usefulness of a support community like this.

Onwards to running last years club results against the new RYA NHC to see what (if any) difference there is, before suggesting to the members that it may be worth moving to … :slight_smile:

Hi Steve,

Shouldn’t be a problem with the (x86) as I have also installed on my Laptop which is 64bit Windows 7 and it runs fine on that. It is installed to the default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave

As for debugging there is a logbook which you can read from the help menu but as its crashing you won’t be able to do that.

You can as run Microsoft’s (sysinternals) DbgView available free from DebugView Link. There are some messages output to this while it is doing the NHC work but at startup there is only one which should say “Subclass done”

In your screen shot where it says that it is checking online for a solution, when it returns does it not give you an option to View problem details and if you use the drop down it gives you more details of the problem.

I prefer to see this before it automatically checks online. To configure this:-

Open the control panel and go to the “Action Center” - Quick way is to click Start and then type in Action in the box

Now click on Maintenance

Then for the section “Check for solutions to problem reports” click the Settings option.

select the option “Each time a problem occurs, ask me before checking for solutions”

You should now be able to see what is causing the crash

Had a bit of an unproductive evening trying your suggestions and other things

I’ve tried a complete uninstall, and reboot, and removed all references to sailwave left in regedit, then another reboot and a clean install of 2.9.4

It still exhibits the same behaviour :frowning:

Then I tried the rename of sailwave.exe, and still no joy.

I also tried installing it into c:/sailwave incase the brackets in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave were causing any issues.

Out of interest I then did a plain uninstall of 2.9.4 and straightaway installed 2.8.5 with the defaults, and it works without any issues, minus the NHC stuff.

Just on the off chance I uninstalled 2.8.5 and reinstalled 2.9.4 but it is back to being unable to start, so it does appear to be something confined to the new beta versions

Is there any sort of additional logging that can be turned on or crash reports that should be generated to help diagnose the problem?

Regarding the Mac install

I can’t remember the exact details of what I did, but I know I have Xquartz and WineBottler installed

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

I think all I did after installing them was to just run the sw2_9_4.exe installer and it just worked.

The only quirk is that double clicking on a .blw file doesn’t work, you have to start Sailwave and then File -> Open and browse to the file to open it.

If I remember any more of the details I’ll let you know

Hi Steve,

The NewVersion message is because 2.9.4 is a Beta and the version check says that the one you are running is not the current latest version - which is true but perhaps it should be a bit more intelligent, you can turn off the check for new version when you are running a beta version if you want to stop the message appearing.

StoppedWorking

This is a strange one but as you were running a previous version before it might be something to do with the Manifest file that Colin supplied with some versions. I’ve found that it works best without this file and had a similar problem with on 64 bit machine. Using Windows explorer goto the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave directory and make sure there is no sailwave.manifest file present.

If this does not work it may be because somewhere windows has cached this info. Try renaming the file Sailwave.exe to Sailwave2.exe and then double click to run it. I know it sounds strange but I’ve seen this work just by changing its name to not be Sailwave. If someone knows where it is storing this / how to fix it please let us know as I spent half an hour looking the other day and failed!!

Many thanks for the feedback on the success in running 2.9.4 and the NHC code on the Mac. The missing Exit is very strange although I guess Alt-F4 would work as a get around?

I’m sure if you could spend the time to Write up the “how you installed it on the Mac” with which versions and best place to download the Wine from etc it would be greatly appreciated by many users and if you like we could put it on the Sailwave site.

Having some issues with the new 2.9.4 Beta, (and the same problem
happend with 2.9.3)
It’s crashing out at startup (screen shots attached), both when
started from the start menu and when double clicking on a blw file
When double clicking on a file, it seems to sort of display the table
of data, but then crashes before it resizes the control to the full
area of the window
This is running on Windows 7 64 bit. There’s nothing particularly odd
about the machine, other than having My Documents (and Pictures, Music
etc) configured on a separate drive
I though I had seen something on the mailing list on a means to run
sailwave with some extra loggin/debug turned on to try and see what
the issue is, but I can’t seem to find those messages
This machine was running an older previously. Unfortunately, I cant
remember what version, probably one that was released back around
August/September last season

Any ideas what I can try to do to get things working?

Having said that the new beta runs fine on my Mac Air under Wine to
process results using the new RYA NHC, apart from there appearing to
be no Exit option on the File menu

Thanks
Steve
