Flowcode V5 has stopped working

Post by cruzxia »

I am having a problem with Flowcode V5.
I start the program, but when I load a project I get a message from windows that Flowcode V5 has stopped working.
My system is windows 7 64bit.
I have used Flowcode V5 on this system for years with no issues. It just suddenly started with this loading issue.
My suspicions are that windows has run a security patch, that has caused the issue.
Any help to get it working again would be appreciated.

I had similar problem after a recent windows update:

viewtopic.php?f=78&t=21435 sorted me out.... (I needed to do the RegEdit fix - but try the re-install first.)

Hi Everyone

Same problem... I can open a new project without any issue, but when I try and open a project I did years ago it jsut closes down on me. Same as martin - been adapting V5 programs on this PC for at lease a few months with no issues.

Thanks for the response
I tried deleting the registry entry, but it did not work. :(

I setup a new project and it loads, but as soon as you try select a component it stops working and crashes.
Because my projects have components in them i think the crash as soon as they try load the component when the project opens.

I have to maintain some old projects on V5 so I need to try and get this resolved. I could rewrite them but it would be months of work.

Hello,

This seems to be linked to a recent Windows update which has effected the VB components used by Flowcode 5 and previous.

We have reports that another even more recent Windows update has fixed the problem. So maybe try and run Windows update and check for the latest updates.

Let us know how you get on.

I updated the NET framework, and Flowcode still would not run.
I then looked at all the optional updates from windows, and installed all of them.
That has sorted out the problem, and Flowcode is running again. :D
Thanks for the help.

Most probabbly the longest time I have ever waited for a windows update!!! but yeah, I did the .Net and then the additional optional updates and V5 now starts without a problem.
