Flowcode Error when build

[igmautomated]

I am encountering an error whenever i try to build a project, the programme just locks up i get an error message that says ' Flowcode has encountered a problrem from which it is unable to recover. please save your work and then close and restart Flowcode'
Once the message appears i am not able to do anything with it at all, i have to close the programme via task manager.
I am using flowcode 9 and have downloaded all the latest updates.

Any help please

Hello, igmautomated.
Can you please upload your project file that has the .fcfx extension?
You can upload files on the forums by selecting the Full Editor & Preview tab

I Have had the project working and build and sent it to the target device when i use my desktop at home, but when i try from my laptop or my work desktop it gets the error.

Hello.
your Flowchart compiles for me ok.
The only issue I can see (which should not cause the issue you are describing is the switch X & Y position values are way too high for me, so the switch is a long way from the center of your 2D panel.
To correct that, right-click on your 2D panel and select properties.
Select your switch component from the drop-down arrow at the top right of properties.
Click on the Position Icon that is just below the drop-down arrow and change World coordinates X and Y to 0:

The other reason for Flowocde to have an error like you have described is if it requires updating.
You can download all the updates by selecting Help, Library Updates...
Change the Files in-use to full database
If any components have been updated, you will need to select Reload for the effects to take place.

Another reason is a third party like antivirus or firewall like comodo could be preventing Flowcode from running correctly.
If after updating and disabling the antivirus, the same thing happens again then we will need to look into the cause a bit deeper.

Your project compiles ok for me and does not lock up. So it looks like there is an issue with the installed files or the registry on your laptop. You could try reinstalling Flowcode. If that doesn't fix it, let me know and I will provide instructions for resetting your Flowcode registry locations.

Hi Ian,

I have made a small utility that should hopefully help. Download and unzip the attached file to your PC and then run it on the affected PC(s) when Flowcode is not running.

Flowcode v9 Reg Cleaner.zip

When presented with the options, select the first one ("Window information only") and press the "Clean registry and exit" button. Hopefully this will fix the problem you have been having with Flowcode.

If you are still having problems, then rerun and use the "Full registry reset" option. This will remove all Flowcode v9 registry information (including your licence).

If neither of these options work, then please let us know.

Hi Steve
I have tried "clean registry & Full Registry reset" but it hasn't solved the problem.

There are only 2 things I can think of:

1) you are not running the latest library updates on the problematic computers.

2) some settings saved in your project file are causing the problem.

For the first, you should ensure you are running both the latest version of Flowcode and have the latest updates installed.

For the second, please create a new project on one of your problem computers and post it here. I am on holiday at the moment, but if I get the chance I will try to combine your problem file with one that is known to work on your other PCs. Maybe that will fix the issue. You may have to wait until next week though.
