SbuilderX 313 ini file error at startup

Post by soulmaril » Wed Sep 23, 2009 8:50 am

I got an error message whenever I try to start SbuilderX 313.

The message box says.

"Error in reading the ini file! ....delete the INI file....SbuilderX will stop now!"

I delete the file and restart Sbuilder and then it works fine. I could not fix the problem. Can anyone have a suggestion?

I am using Windows 7 RC 64 bit.

Dear Mr. Sa.

I think I found the problem.

in ini file there is a line
------------------------------------------------
[Polys]
PolyFILL=True
------------------------------------------------
when I change the "FILL" with "FiLL" or delete the entire line it opens without problem. But everytime Sbuilder re-overwrites the default value and I cant get a permemant fix.
It looks like a country setting problem. Although I am using my windows in english.

Hello,

There is in fact a problem with the internal handling of the parameter PolyFILL. During the reading of PolyFILL from the ini file, the parameter is (wrongly - a mistake made by me!) treated as PolyFill. These PolyFill and PolyFILL strings are used as key strings in dotNet collections. I could not reproduce the error that you report but I admit that, on some country settings, it could be a problem. I have generated a new EXE that you could try. It is exactly the same as the distribution one except for this bug. I would be grateful if you could try it:
