Same here

@jeannie Win7 64bit?

Works fine in Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), won't start in Windows 7, used the installer version on one, the zip file on the other. Opened Task Manager & when I click on the icon, fahmon*32 (think that's what it was called) opens up, then disappears from the list. Tried everything uninstalled the old one which quit running anyway, even tried setting compatibility mode to Windows XP system Pack 3.

I used the FahMon .zip version and can't run it on Windows 7. Previous Version works fine. (I exited the previous version before starting the new one)

Windows 7 64 bit -> I can't start the application and it isn't even giving me an error.

Windows 7 32 bit -> It gives me an error when I try to start the application:

fahmon.exe has stopped working

UF, you were the one who told me using xml would not be the best thing for project info so tell me what happend?

So I got curieus and downloaded latest build on trunk, somehow it didn't update the build I had already so I had to reset all the links to wxWidgets but I can't even get it to compile right now sorry.

Have a feeling that if I were ablle to have it atleast run in debug mode the error would be easy to get to as I know you usually don't test on windows.

edit: but it's 9 in the morning, and I did not sleep till now so that might play a role in the wxwidgets issue.. i should really learn how to set up and use those repositories better as I wouldn't have this issue if the project files got updated with turtoise ( I'm just asuming but I think it would keep the vc++ folders lnked ). If when I wake up and have a clear head again I'll give it another look if it's not fixed/figured out by then.

I confirm version 2.3.99.2 don't work on Windows 7 64 bits. I don't start. No error message. Version 2.3.99.1 work fine on Windows 7 64 btis

I doubt if any of the new code has caused this problem, especially as it works fine in Windows XP. The most likely cause is a visual studio config issue (I'm building on XP) or something in the newer wxwidgets library. A Windows 7 VM is being created to test this.

I gave it a little try to compile on W7 last night. Will have to go back and read the errors later, just woke up. But!
Did you update your VS? Curl.sln wont compile on 8, says made by newer version. Will on 10. So I tried 10.
Got wx to compile, but ran into two errors with fahmon.
Will look into it a bit later and let you know. Yawn!

Yes, the solution files are now from VS2010, and as a result the compilation instructions are slightly wrong.

OK, well the debugging I've done on Windows 7 appears to suggest that the crash is caused by the C++ runtime library.

I did a little checking earlier, but had to go out, and I agree. Haven't figured out the correct settings yet.
Having a bad day, but will try to help. VS has changed and not sure how to apply correctly.

I have noticed that the new version 2.3.99.2 on Windows XP (32 bit) does not retain the Core details for each WU.
Downloading projects updates the core details, but after closing and re-opening FahMon, the cores are again listed as unknown, and SMP does not show the bonus.

Just to report that a few AV programs report fahmon.exe as "Gen:Variant.FakeAlert.25".
I'm using Immunet Protect Plus, which uses BitDefender's engine in addition to its cloud technology.
Also reported by F-Secure and nProtect.
Panda reports is as "Suspicious file".

UF could you post the changes in environment needed? I am using vs2010 and the 2.8.7 wxWidgets ( I think the only thing I have to do is update to the latest stable wxWidgets release but I would rather be certain then try it when it's something else preventing the project to run in the ide ).

@RAH for vs2010 the include and lib folders have to be linked in each project's references ( both curl and fahmon itself ). Just include the same locations as for vc++ 2008 there. Atleast that worked with the earlier builds, I think the reason it's throwing errors for me is that it's not longer running on the version of wxWidgets I have installed.

Edit: I was using 2.8.7 not 2.8.11 installing that now.

VS2010 wxWigets
build configuration manager -> unicode release
project properties-c/c++-code generation -> /MT

Then with both projects just go to project references and add the inlcude folders there. I got it finally running now ( just seconds, can't say anything ). I did also install wxWidgets on the same drive this time. not sure if it helps but I noticed some references in the code looking like it used relevant paths so it might.. idk.

Result from trying to compile ->

Well, I got it to compile with VS10, with warnings "LNK 4254". Still can't get it to work W7 64.
Won't throw out an error. Will have to try later. Got to go to VA.
