MISFIT for MFAKTx

[kladner]

Well, I've now gone through the independent directory attempt. I still can't get it to work, though the messages have changed (see attached). This error message is followed by the loss of config data. Fields I just filled in, (location, bat files, name to stop, etc.) are blank again.

This makes me think that some OS structure (.net?) has gotten borked somehow. Any ideas?

mmh, maybe a deinstall of the whole .net-framework and install again is the solution ? give it a try.

other drives then E: tested ?

firewall/antivirus maybe block the access ?

a older version of misfit works ?

It was working until a few days back, but that was an older version, I think. I should try rolling back MISFIT before I take on all of .NET. The latter would be a real bear to deal with as there are so many versions and updates listed.

1. What version were you on before upgrading?

2. You say losing configuration? Please elaborate...

3. Did inspection of results.txt uncover anything?

4. Manually inspect MISFITconfig.txt does it anything like the attached file?

5. Don't uninstall .net. MISFIT is probably 1 out of 300 apps on your PC that uses .NET. If .NET was corrupted you would already be rebuilding your PC.

6. Do your MFAKTx instances run fine with using MISFIT. (they should)

7. delete or rename MISFITCONFIG.TXT and restart misfit. The wizard should take you through configuration again. Do one simple config and see if it saves correctly. If it cannot save correctly try a different drive. You could have a disk problem.

1) Not sure about previous version. I am currently working with 2.5.0.

2) I have gotten some or all of the configuration file entered through the config editor on quite a few occasions now. I've taken to doing it in stages so I don't commit the entire effort of setting up email, etc. At this point, I make it through setting up the Process Setup tab, and save. The Locations and Instances fields get filled in on the main MISFIT window. At this point I have, at times, gone back into config Editor and entered and saved more information. On this trial, I have exited MISFIT after the first Config save. When I restart MISFIT, I get the error message box "Error applying configurations! Number of copies to create must be strictly positive. Parameter name: count." I have attached screenshots of this to previous posts. When I dismiss this "Info" dialog, a second one appears, "No work directories specified! Use Configuration Editor to correct!" This is the data I have now entered repeatedly, which has disappeared in this way more times than I have counted.
When I dismiss the second dialog box, the fields on the main MISFIT window are again blank. This has occurred with or without deleting MISFITconfig.txt. It just occurred on a different physical drive than previous attempts. In none of these attempts did MISFIT ever display the contents of the worktodo.txt files. The results.txt files all looked perfectly ordinary. I have tried the configuration with empty, or no results.txt files. MISFIT has been able to call the batch files and run mfaktc instances. Mfaktc runs fine independently of MISFIT.

I found the cause of "object no set....blah" that would occur in a totally clean directory on the first config save. It is minor.


I cannot debug your issue without a copy of your directory as there are hundreds of lines of code involved in ApplyConfig(). The error you see is the outer most exception and is not really expected to ever be hit.

If you zip up and send me your directory structure exactly as it is I will point my debugger at it and find the answer.

I'll send you a link of where to put your zip file over private message

Thanks, Scott! I'll get it off to you.

Everything worked. (not using a debug version. just the latest compile)
(sans decrypting your passwords. That I cannot do)



I'll do the second installation later.

Thanks. This sort of seems like there's a kink on my end. When I get a chance this afternoon I'll try again with the latest version.

My mistake. I am not using the latest version. I am using the version in your zip file.

No errors beyond MISFIT not being able to decrypt your passwords.
