I have come across this particular problem several times across several versions of the IAR embedded workbench (EW430 5.40.7 [EW 6.0], EW430 5.51.2 [EW 6.4], EW430 6.20.1 [EW 7.0]), but each time only after a long period of having no problems. The problem doesn't seem to have affected the other firmware developers in the office, so no help can be offered there. I'm currently on Windows 10, but the problems first occurred when I was on Windows 8.1 (same PC.)
The problem is that, for no obvious trigger, the IAR ide will start to hang until terminated (or it will just crash on one of the EW versions) on any attempt to change the active build configuration in MSP430 projects using the emulator.
From my testing, it appears to be directly related to something the IDE is doing with the emulator, as when the build configuration is changed, I can see the emulator menu in the menu bar disappear, then the hang happens. Under normal circumstances, the menu will disappear, but then reappear once the other debug configuration is completely loaded.
I have tried the default project "flashing the LED" to see if it was only my project - but if I select the msp430x4xx (C) - Debug, right click it and select "Set as Active" from the context menu, to make this the active project, the IDE also hung. I then reopened the EW IDE, and opened the LED flashing project again. The original 1xx asm project was the active project.
I then changed the settings of the 4xx (C) Debug project (without making it the active project) from the emulator to the simulator, and clicked OK. The program did NOT crash.
I then set the 4xx (C) Debug project as the active project and it did NOT crash. The simulator even runs without problems.
The version of the FET firmware didn't change from when the IDE worked correctly to when it didn't, and the FET is not even used at this point. It can be completely disconnected and the same results will occur.
I have tried the following, without success:
erasing the files in my project folder's settings subfolder
erasing the *.dep files in the project folder.
deleting the IarIdePm.ini file from AppData\Roaming\IAR Embedded Workbench
making sure none of the project files are read-only
reinstalling the program to the same location
removing and reinstalling the program to the same location.
What does solve the problem (until it reoccurs) is to reinstall the program, but to a different directory (for e.g., the default directory will be in program files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench x.x. Installing again into program files (x86)\IAR Systems\EWx (just so it is different) allowed that installation to work, but the old installation continued to fail.
Best advice so far (from our support person) has been to do the above, install to another directory and live with it, as it doesn't happen often.
Since it has happened to me on 3 occasions with 3 different versions of the program, I would like to know how to fix or prevent it! If anyone could offer anything to try (or even better, a straight solution :)) that would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Since newer versions and updates on W10, it seems that old compatibilities are being removed from this OS. I have no direct solution for this problem since Microsoft does not promise support for old software and hardware. Even I tried to find a solution for that problem, and I found on the IAR website a list of IDE's and their compatible versions. (remember, old versions are not compatible)
( https://www.iar.com/knowledge/support/technical-notes/ide/windows-10-and-iar-embedded-workbench/ )
You will need to update your IDE and program version to a newer version if you plan to continue to use this IDE natively on Windows 10 or you may use Virtual machines with an old operational system (like Windows 7) to compile your program on old IDE.
P.S.1 I manually uninstalled KB4592449 recently updated and the program return to work natively. Probably it will continue working until this update (or other similar) being installed again on the computer, but probably there is any vulnerability that the computer will be exposed to, and in this case, I'm paying the price.
P.S.2 KB4580325 promotes the same behavior in IAR 5.11 on windows 10. Both KB's implement securities about the flash player - that I Don't use - then, I can securely uninstall it.
P.S.3 Since I updated my windows up to Windows 10 version 21H1 (compilation 19043.1165) AND I configured Windows defender to not be monitoring IAR IDE (IarIdePM.exe) disabling all protections available, everything works fine. But Remember: my program is original, not cracked or altered by anything, then I am secure to do what I did.
It is a 'natural' that software problem. Not found way of fixing it. The solution temporary is modify manually the file .eww for change of project active. The ultimate solution is to use another development environment.

I have entered my Jetbrains license and already created a project three times now. I imported IDE settings which requires a restart and when the restart happens poof the license/activation key is gone as well as the project that had already been opened.
This is a strange behavior. I have installed and used the jetbrains products many dozens of times on different computers and had not seen this before. In fact DataSpell and Pycharm are working normally on this same computer.
I am on macOS Monterey 12.5.1
This problem has been identified as being due to using the "import Settings" feature. When I do that and restart Intellij then the activation code and in fact all past knowledge of my installation are gone. #CrazyCoder
Question is what steps can I take to debug this?
It does very occasionally auto-save itself, but not on change of active window as previously. I can't yet reproduce a specific cause of this (very occasional) autosave.
I have all auto-save options as per default:
I recently did brew upgrade including fswatch. Would I be right in assuming IntelliJ would use its own though, not brew's fswatch if installed?
Another possibility is it's a Mac OS Privacy thing; a Catalina update seems to have broken one program which expected disk access to be available, now it's not; not sure if Intellij has lost some kind of OS permission to do (auto) saves(?), while this doesn't affect a user issued command to save, which works fine.
While developing a Cocoa sandboxed application, I discovered that if I switched it to non sandboxed, in all the Open Panels of the application, the right click commands (Duplicate, move to trash etc.) do not work any more. I am certain they did work no more than two weeks ago, but I have reverted the project to old commits and the misbehaviour is still there. I tried everything, until I realised that this misbehaviour now appears in all my projects, if I switch them to non-sandboxed. This makes me think it may be some kind of bug introduced in 10.14.2 or something similar. I hope somebody else has experienced the same issue so that we can understand better what is going on. Thanks
P.S. I am using the latest Xcode 10.1 (10B61) and tried on several machines. It is the same misbehaviour.
The OS might be confused by having some contradicting leftover knowledge about sandboxed and non-sandboxed versions of the app with the same version / bundle ID / signature.
Some things to try:
Test the app on a fresh user account.
Delete the app sandbox container from your Home Folder > Library > Containers.
Temporarily change app bundle ID to something new to see if it’s still affected.
I have recently put together a new development machine and loaded Windows 7 64 bit and VS2010.
I copied over all my projects (VB) from the old machine which was Windows 7 x86 and VS2008.
After following the conversion wizard in VS2010 and installing a third-party component I had forgotten about, my solutions opened and executed fine on the new machine.
Then I tried to work on one of my projects via RDP from a Windows XP machine (something I have done many, many times with the old machine) and the project crashes when run. I get the "no source availiable" tab and an AccessViolationException as soon as the splash screen has loaded. Going back to local operation, the project runs fine.
I've Googled this one to death and I can't find anything that relates to this problem at all. Any sugggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
I do have multiple monitors but have never had a problem before with RDP. Anyways, I found other problems when opening other, older, projects in VS2010 so I uninstalled and reverted to VS2008. All OK now. Thanks for your help.
I was having an issue running Visual Studio 2010 via RDP where the IDE contents except the Solution Explorer wouldn't render. I went to Options->Environment->General->Visual experience and turned off the the "rich client visual experience" options. I suspect turning off "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" did the trick.
I had also problem with RDP working in "windows 10"
My connection other computers always run successful, but closing after 5-15 second. I very long try fix this error. And I open this exception in VS2015 and read full excaption:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFBE35A8283 (ntdll.dll) in mstsc.exe: 0xC0000374: Куча была повреждена (parameters: 0x00007FFBE35FF6B0).
At first I thinked my PC have truble with RAM memory, but I decide change RDP settings and it began work without problem.
I changed the picture quality and uncheck using printer in other window.
My rdp workin very nice now.
I tried many fixes
From the microsoftware, with updates and system files, but nothing helped. I am writing now if someone with the same collision can solve temporarily the problem by lowering the quality of the picture. On a remote computer, it may be very important to simply connect, especially if it is a server.
I have a VB.NET ClickOnce application that I am trying to install on my computer. Previously, I was able to install and run these apps without issue. Now when I install the application, I can see the flash of a window opening, and then nothing. (There are also no processes left hanging or anything when viewed with the task manager.)
After some digging around I noticed that there are files in my Temporary Internet Files with names like "FusionBindError" and then my application name and different DLL names.
I have done everything I can find on the net to do, reinstall applications, reinstalled the .NET Framework, deleted my Local Settings folder and relogged in.
Does anyone out there have any other ideas for me to try?
I tried the Mage.exe suggestion, but it failed to help. Same with the other installation location suggestion. The application flashes at the bottom of the screen but does not open. I have tried using FUSLOGVW to check the bindings and nothing shows up in there. (Good or bad, there are no binding entries.)
Have you tried using mage.exe? This is a command-line tool that comes with .NET framework. Start up a VS command prompt, and try mage -cc. This will clear your applicaiton cache and will force a new click-once download. This is the first thing I do when my click-once applications fail and it works 99% of the time.
A couple of suggestions:
FusLogVW isn't working for you because you have to enable assembly binding failure logging inside the registry. This MSDN article describes how to do this.
Another thing that comes to mind is, perhaps the ClickOnce app install, or perhaps the whole ClickOnce store is corrupted. Try deleting the ClickOnce app store then reinstalling the application.
It's possible that new prerequisites were added that you don't have on hand. If the URL you are using points directly to "my.application" or whatever your equivalent is, prerequisites won't be processed.
So try pointing to the setup.exe that is created in the same directory as the .application file.
Other than that, it sounds like you're doing all the right stuff...
Also, it could be useful to run the fuslogvw utility on a machine where the application actually works. Or reflector.
And then see if indeed any of its dependencies being loaded surprise you.
Also, for these types of errors, be sure to check if disabling the antivirus resident protection helps. Sometimes it causes problems accessing assemblies' manifests and such.
I uninstalled my Kensington Mouse software, and that resolved my installation errors.
Who knew that mouse software that I never used could cause so much trouble??
Sometimes if your machine is working for days this problem will show up. Try to restart your machine. The same problem happened to me and it disappeared when I restarted my machine.
