Latest 1.1.1 update crashes on startup
by >ChefScott

Updated to the 1.1.1 version and it crashes when trying to start the program. Win 7, 64 bit 8GB RAM. Uninstalled and download the update directly and still crashes on startup.
Am I the only one having this issue?

For now I am going back to 1.1.0.2192.

We have the same issue here. Crashing on start on 4 workstations and 2 others work fine. All are Win 7 x64 with the same image.

How do I find the old installers?

Here is the direct link for the previous Windows version: 1.1.0.2192. Looks like maybe a 64 bit issue - will investigate.

Any luck yet finding out what is causing the crash on start for 1.1.1?

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 9:43a.m.

@ChefScott So far we haven't been able to reproduce this on our test machines. Here is a debug version of 1.1.1. If you have the chance, extract this on the offending machine and run MatterControl.exe - it should create a useful error message on crash.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 11:44a.m.

No crashes at all with the debug version of 1.1.1. It started up fine and I made a few prints with it with no issues at all.

Now to figure out how to activate Image converter.

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 3:09p.m.

Well I suppose that is good news, even if it does leave us without good info for debugging. Thanks for testing it.

Making an installer that includes all of the changes in the debug version. Will post it here in a bit - that way if you unlocked the Image Converter previously it will show up.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 3:22p.m.

But now, it is crashing on start up. I have three files that the crash report points to:
WER5ABC.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
WER9C21.tmp.mdmp
WER739A.tmp.appcompat.txt

Should I send these to you?

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 3:25p.m.

Do you see anything like this?

The circled portion is the message we need.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 3:38p.m.

No it gives me this:

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 3:43p.m.

Anything you can think of that occurred prior to the crash beginning? Any specific file that was added to the Queue or the Library?

Here is a copy of the latest installer.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 4:18p.m.

No nothing out of the ordinary. Just starting the program causes the crash. This one also crashes on start. Here is what is in the WER5ABC.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml:

Thanks. Would you mind sending the other two files as well?

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 4:42p.m.

All are on my server for now:

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 4:46p.m.

Thanks - was this for the debug version or the latest installer?

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 5:25p.m.

That was from the debug version, I can do the same with the latest installer if you want.

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 5:54p.m.

Actually if you could send the contents of 'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\MatterControl' that would be extremely helpful

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 4th, 2014 at 6:09p.m.

Here it is
http://www.decalsandtees.com/temp/MatterControl.zip
This is after running (and crashing on start) the debug version.

ChefScott - June 4th, 2014 at 7:10p.m.

I have come to the conclusion that this crashing on start of the program I am experiencing has something to do with the printer auto-connecting (Printrbot 2014 wood Simple). If I start the program (using the debug version and the latest installer you posted above) with the printer not connected the program runs without any issues, I can then plug the USB cable into the computer, connect manually to the printer and use MatterControl. But if I have the printer on and the USB cable connected it will crash on start up every time. Now this happens when auto-connect is selected for the printer. If I turn auto-connect off the program starts up fine and I can connect to the printer once the program has started.
Maybe this can help solve this issue, or at least get you a better idea of what is going on.

ChefScott - June 5th, 2014 at 10:48a.m.

Perfect. We were able to reproduce using our Simple. Working on a fix now.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 5th, 2014 at 12:19p.m.

Great, glad I could be of some help.

ChefScott - June 5th, 2014 at 1:05p.m.

When you get a chance please give this version a try - auto-connect should now work properly for you.

kevin.pope [Moderator] - June 5th, 2014 at 1:26p.m.

Totally awesome, auto-connect works again! You are fast. Thank you so much for fixing this!
