Standalone app crashes

[Tribblehunter]

Hi all.

Having built a few rough apps I have just built my first 'proper app' for windows. It works in the LC environment but when built as standalone it crashes.

Is there any way of seeing why? I have roughly worked out which area of code fails, but would like to be able to pinpoint it.

Any shove in the right direction appreciated.

Hi Tribblehunter

You may want to temporarily implement an "errorDialog" handler in the main stack script if you haven't done so already. That handler would catch execution errors not caught by a try-catch block anywhere else. You can then either display the error or write it to a log file.
Please have a look at the "errorDialog" entry in the LiveCode dictionary.

Hi.

You will better be able to use Ledigimate's excellent advice if you examine this thread:

Thanks guys. That will be helpful for the future.

Turns out it was a compatibility issue with windows 8!

runs in compatibility mode.

@Ledigimate.
Nice exercise, your signature (and it's true, somehow).

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put "0101000001100101011000010110001101100"& \
        "10100111101010011000110111101110110"& \
        "01100101001010110101010001110010011"& \
        "10101011101000110100000101011010010"& \
        "10011101010111001101110100011010010"& \
        "110001101100101" into m
  repeat with j=1 to length(m) div 8
    put byte 8*j-7 to 8*j of m into b
    put numToByte(baseconvert(b,2,10)) after signature
  end repeat
  answer signature
end mouseUp

@hh

I'm glad my signature had you so curious that you actually wrote some code to find what it says
It took some deep thought to come up with.
