hiya,

I've finally got version 1.0.2005.1 final working on my win7 Thanks.

Every time I try the "file" option, I get this error:

<< The path is not of a legal form.

-----[Core exception]-------------------- at System.IO.Path.nGetFullPathHelper(String path, Char[] invalidPathChars, Char[] whitespaceChars, Char directorySeparator, Char altDirectorySeparator, Char volumeSeparator, Boolean fullCheck, String& newPath) at System.IO.Path.GetFullPathInternal(String path) at System.IO.FileInfo..ctor(String fileName) at SD.LLBLGen.Pro.Gui.Classes.MRUManager.GetDisplayName(String fullName) at SD.LLBLGen.Pro.Gui.Classes.MRUManager.OnMRUParentPopup(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnPopup(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnInitMenuPopup(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem._OnInitMenuPopup(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Menu.ProcessInitMenuPopup(IntPtr handle) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmInitMenuPopup(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

I don't seem to get this error with vs2008 etc.

I've been googling, and wouldn't be surprised if the issue's caused by microsoft.

Has anyone else seen this error when using the llblGenPro designer, adn let me know how they solved it?

Thanks,

yogi

I will try to reproduce it in a W7 box...

Could you open 'preferences' and check the folder at the top for 'default project folder' and specify an existing folder there?

hiya,

I'm not sure where the 'preferences' are. I can't see them on any of the designer menu options..If 'prefernces' are in the file menu, then i can't, because as soon as i mouse over 'file', i get the error.

I've also looked in the installed folders for a folder named 'preferences' ..I can't see one.

Where is it?

Thanks

I thought the issue popped up when you clicked open project, not the file menu. I now see the MRU class generates this issue. You seem to have some file names in the MRU list. Could you please look into the users<your username>\Application Data\LLBLGen Pro and look for the file 'guistate.xml ? (I have to boot up windows 7 for the folder name, so I hope I've guessed it correctly ), Open the file in notepad and at the bottom you'll see some files in the RecentFiles element. Remove all RecentFile elements and set <RecentFiles AmountRecentFilesStored to 0. Save, and start designer again.

hiya,

The folder on win 7 is: C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\LLBLGen Pro

I did as you suggested and the designer opens up etc,

Thanks frans and Daelmo.

If i run into any mor eissues I'll let yous know.

ta,

yogi
