Desktop IDe stops running

[RobVanBrunschot]

Hello,

I am the onwer of a ASUS Eee PC where I want to run the Basic4PPC desktop IDe but when I run a created program and I click on the X button, the program shows the box 'Basic4PPC stops running'.
End of fun.

My netbook runs Windows 7 Starter,.

Should I be possible to run Basic4PPC on this machine or is there something I should do before every thing works.

I hope someone can help me.

Regards, rob

Do you have .Net Framework 2.0 installed?
Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)

Edit: Actually I don't think that it is related to .Net Framework 2.0. Are there any other details in the error message?

Hello Erel,

I did try that before but got the message that this software was already included in windows 7.

I also tried some sample programs from the setup package of basic4ppc and they seem to work okee.

Can it be possible that I got some of my code wrong, working okee on Vista but not working on Windows 7?

Regards, Rob

The problem happens when you try to close your application?

Make sure that you are not calling AppClose inside Sub Form_Close.

Erel,

Thank you for your answer, it was the solution :icon_clap:
I had the AppClose command within the close sub all along, but on Windows 7 it did not work anymore.
I removed him and the program works okee now.

Great.
So just to clarify, AppClose closes the main form which raises the Close event. So calling AppClose from inside the Close event creates an endless recursive loop.
