suddenly Can't Run codelite

Post by SamHu »

Under Windows7 home basic
I did download the package from the codelite home page link
and it ran well.
But suddenly I can't open it, double click and nothing happened.
I reboot and I re-install but nothing changed.
this is not happening on other applications just codelite.
What is wrong?
Please help.

I usually get this behavior in case of virus infection.

The anti-vir silently refuse to open the .exe or refuse to open a .dll which causes the exe not load.

Check your anti-vir's log.

it seems to have something to do with the failure of dllhost.exe , is there any recommended tools I can use to check the launch of the codelite ???
I just get to like the codelite and i don't want to go back to visual C++ 6.0 ??
Any suggestions guys ????

Delete the folder: %appdata%\CodeLite
And start codelite

Probably one of the configuration files got corrupted during codelite shutdown (or maybe computer shutdown) - deleting the %appdata%\CodeLite simply cleans all the user files so that codelite can copy the installation files and start fresh (from the installation directory)

That also happend to me, I deleted the %appdata%\CodeLite directory and it worked, so far so good.
BUT when I open the workspace, the same behaviour comes back. Then I deletes only "%appdata%\CodeLite\config\sessions.xml" which contains the last workspace, and it happens again.

So the problem is with my workspace, here is a copy of it: http://suporte.cosmodata.com.br/downloa ... sTeste.zip, it was located at D:\tmp\CodeLite\. It is 19Mb only because there is a big .exe in it.

this could have happend because 1) disk was full and I hadn't noticed, or 2) I was fidling a lot with compile and link parameters (trying to make a static build), or 3) Jobs doesn't like me because I don't own an iPad...

Please help, there is absolutly nothing important in that workspace, just 2 gui apps with the wizard's frame. BUT I am concerned that this could happen with a complex app and *then* I would be in trouble.

I don't know what to test next, please instruct me :)
