I was using this the other day tuning a VS V8 on the dyno and was wandering why it kept crashing??? Looks like I have the answer, Keep up the good work!
Unfortunately, it looks like we still need the microsoft 2010 redist package (4.8mb). If you get errors about missing MSCRT100.DLL when trying to use v1.2.3 then install the package from here:
WinXP, and AVG free edition. I had the dll error then installed the C++ 2010 distributable then got that error. If i delete the dll and use the v1.2.1 it works fine.
Update:
v1.2.4 is now released. This fixes the other half of the crash when car is turned off while logging bug which I thought I had fixed in v1.2.3. There is also a passthrough mode improvement and some timeouts have been reduced. These new timeouts have had limited testing. Let me know if you have problems with this version that you did not have before.
ejukated: sorry but I do not know what would cause that. I am running on XP and win 7 and both are working fine. V1.2.3 is the first visual c++ 2010 based version but my day job as a linux programmer doesnt give me the skills to solve as many windows issues as i'd like. If anyone more experienced has any ideas about it feel free to post here.
I guess there must be something non standard about by system. I will try v1.2.4 to see if there is anything different. Unfortunately when it crashes there isn't even anything useful in the debug text
Yeah I found that last night too. It looks like a programming error, but the constructors are called the same at startup on every system, so if it was a problem like that then it would happen on my system also. Also, I am not calling functions via pointers, and have no embedded functions anywhere. If I could reproduce it on my system, then the debugger could point me to the right piece of code.
