HELP! Cannot Save settings

Hi,

I'm running Windows 7 x64 RTM with
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)

I have just done a fresh install of the latest version of TV Rename and get the following error when attempting to save settings.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I have tried the following:
restarting the computer,
clearing cache,
deleting the xml files in AppData/roaming etc.

I regularly use the software on my computers at home without any issues.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

regards,
Ravenge

I have the exact same problem, identical error. I'm running Vista x64, .net and vis-studio redistributable. Tried running in compatibility mode, as admin, UAC off etc. It runs on an x86 XP install on the same computer. Could this be an issue with 64 bit OS's? I know some variable conversions, specifically ToString will choke on x64, requiring a lot of null checks and error handling, and the MSDN documentation is a bit misleading. Anyone else had this problem?

The problem is that ResumeDatPath can be null when the settings are saved. As a workaround try going to Options->Preferences then just click OK and then Save before doing anything else. After that it should load fine.

I grabbed the source code to figure it out and changed the following to "fix" it before I found the workaround above (Settings.h, line 254):

// ResumeDatPath
FileInfo ^f = gcnew FileInfo(System::Windows::Forms::Application::UserAppDataPath+"\\..\\..\\..\\uTorrent\\resume.dat");
if (f->Exists)
{
ResumeDatPath = f->FullName;
}
else
{
ResumeDatPath = "";
}

Hi I am Lara Croft. I also have same problem. I am using VS 2008 in Windows 7 Operating System.
I am confusing about this error. Any one suggest me what to do now?
Please suggest any solution. I am waiting for solution.

Pyrok's solution worked for me, thankyou.

I had the prob and the solution worked fine thanks

Pyrok: thanks for finding the problem and a solution. It is now incorporated into the latest version available for download.

I'm having an issue similar to this with v2.2.0a9.
Every time i click on "Preferences" or "Search Engine", it crash.

I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Can you try 2.2.0a7, and see if that also crashes? When it crashes, does any error message/dialog come up?

2.2.0a7 is working fine, i've been using it for quite some time.

The crash happen when clicking on "Preferences", "Search Engines", "Filename Processors" and "Actors Grid".
Here's the crash message (sorry it's in french):

************** Débogage JIT **************
Pour activer le débogage juste-à-temps (JIT), le fichier de configuration pour cette
application ou cet ordinateur (machine.config) doit avoir la valeur
jitDebugging définie dans la section system.windows.forms.
L'application doit également être compilée avec le débogage
activé.

Par exemple :

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Lorsque le débogage juste-à-temps est activé, les exceptions non gérées
seront envoyées au débogueur JIT inscrit sur l'ordinateur
plutôt que d'être gérées par cette boîte de dialogue.

Another post had the solution, and I've now fixed the problem. The installer was missing a DLL, which I've now added in to it.

If you re-download the 2.2.0a9 (or later) installer from here, and install (over the top of your existing install) from that, it should be ok.
