Star Trek Character Builder v3.1 (Character Generator)

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Strangely, I'm still getting the same error Sorry.

I'd like to make a request:

Once you're done with your bug-fixes and beta-testing, please release your code so that a port to Macintosh can be done.

Thanks.

A read of address 'CCCCCCC8' is probably an attempt to access freed memory, or an attempt to access an object that has not yet been created. (One of them is all C's, the other is all D's, IIRC).

Look for an object that's being used before it's created, or one that's being used after it was destroyed.

In C++, this would be the Add/Release pairs (or equivalent semantic if you're using smart pointers of some kind); in VB, it would be the object creation statement or the Set xxx = Nothing statement. Again, IIRC.

This sort of memory "tagging" generally only occurs in a debug build -- could you have a problem linking a release build to a debug DLL, or vice versa? Or could there be a version problem?

If you've got an installer, it should be installing OLEAUT32.DLL if the one you use is newer than the one on the target machine, and not otherwise -- VB installer normally takes care of this. It might be worth comparing your version of this DLL to the versions on machines where the problem exists.

Find the version by right clicking on the DLL (in the C:\windows\system directory or equivalent place), select Properties in the context menu, and then going to the version tab.

Apologies if folks already know this stuff...

Nope, test program is giving me the same error

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Well I didn't know most of that Fesarius, but what I did do first, was download the latest version of that dll file and try again. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. C'est la vie.

[Cut]

I'm afraid that the new test version didi't work for my either
But I'm starting to feel a little out of place now. You all seem to know that much about program creation. I can just install and (sometimes) run them on my computer. Thanks for putting all this effort into something that unknowing people like me will use without really knowing how complicated they are...

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Well the new test version worked fine. Well done

Character creation just got one hell of a lot easier

[P'l]

Sad to say, but it doesn't seem to work for me either.
Infact nearly nothiing does, upon opening the program, I'm told that "the class does not exist". Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

Did one complete character run through. Worked fine although I did get an eror message of an address violation when applying chnages at the second last stage. However I didn't note the error down becuase I clicked on on it and the program continued with no problem. When I get a chance I'll run it through again and see if I get the same error. It doesn't seem to be a problem though.

Great work and many thanks

Apologies P'l, afraid I can't help you, though I have no doubt someone knowledgable will chip in

[Cut]

I'm sad to report, that I get the error box still. And there's no way to shut it off exept to close the program down :-(

So no happy easy-character-creation for me...

But there's plenty of time till my birthday in June

[Space_Cadet]

So what is the new error?

Pl, it seems the system file did not register. Are u using a public computer where you're not allowed to install programs?

[P'l]

No, my own machine.
Plenty of horsepower for what I use it sor, but it runs "ancient" win98 (second edition). Does that help you in anyway?

and does this error message occurs when the title screen pops up? Also check if "coda.dll" exists on your computer too.

[Setvenharis]

It all seems to work for me.

[Karg]

I'm still getting the same erroe message Cadet
