Thanks, but I still get setupvalidation errors.

Code: Select all

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class com.hifiremote.jp1.Remote$SetupValidation.SETUPVALIDATION
	at java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Unknown Source)

Sorry, forgot about that one.

OK, RM v1.92a should take care of that.

Works fine now. Thanks.

I found a new problem. The key moves in one of my upgrades are fine in 1.90 (7 or 8 bytes, I think), but are only 5 bytes in 1.92a. When I paste the short key move into IR, it pastes an incredibly long string instead and causes IR to lock up.

Try RM v1.92b

That fixed it. Thanks.

I find that running 1.92b under Vista Home Premium that it refuses to shut down. Selecting File > Exit or clicking on the red cross has no effect.

Have you added some sort of configuration change that saves a file in the RemoteMaster folder ? That is not allowed in Vista with User Access Control selected (as it is by default).

Note this applies ONLY if you install the program under \Program Files\... If you install it directly off the root then it works fine, as Vista allows unrestricted saving in that area.

RM has always saved RemoteMaster.properties on exit.

Can't be that then. I was using V1.86 before and that exited without any problem so it must be something that has changed since then that stops it exiting.

Do you have any versions between 1.86 and 1.92? I have 1.87 and 1.90 if you want to test with either of those. Nailing down exactly where the issue started will help Greg narrow down what's causing it.

No, but if you send me the links I'll try them both.

One extra bit of information, the File > Recent option has never worked for me, probably for the same reason that RM saves (or in the case of Vista fails to save) it's config in the same folder as the EXE file (I have confirmed that if you install in an unprotected area it does work OK).

But the earlier version always shut down OK.

All versions of RM ever released are still available at sourceforge

Greg: The problem actually occurred at V1.91. V1.90 exits OK, V1.91 freezes.

Don't know if it helps, but if you have the 'changed' flag set so it prompts for a Save on Exit, that prompt appears and the freeze occurs after you tap No/Yes.

Just for info, if you want it to work 100% under Vista you need to save any config files in C:\Users\<..Username..>\AppData\RemoteMaster\ which has been designed for unrestricted writing. I assume there is some sort of API to find the Username.

Let me know if there is anything I can test for you.

Cheers
