Hello,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! - GREAT LIST MEMBERS!

 

New year, new problems with Rev 3.0 on WinXP.I am using

revZipOpenArchive tArchiv, "read"

to unzip the archive afterwords. On two of three XP PCs the extraction works
fine with the standalone.

When doing a try - catch I get on the third PC the Catch Error:
573,819,1,revZipOpenArchive, which tells me when parsing:

Type: Handler (can't find handler)

Object name: script

Line: (row819 col 1)

Hint: _

Processing token: thrown error

 

The script runs up to the next statement:

put revZipEnumerateItems(tArchiv) into tTempFiles

which is also captured by a try - catch section. Here the catch Error throws
empty but the prog keeps hanging and doesn't run on. It keeps hanging in the
catch section.

 

Obviously the revZip functions gets into conflict with anything on my third
PC. But even if I could find and delete the disturbing thing on my third PC,
this could happen the same outside in the wildlife at my customers, and that
would be a horror, when the automatic update lets the program hang. Using
the gzip compressing instead of zip also is no solution, because I have
corruption problems with gz files when downloading (actually on another PC).
For that reason I redesigned everything to RevZip and now this while doing
the last tests :-(

 

Has anybody any explanation for this mysterious behaviour or experienced the
same error?

I am pretty helpless and it would skip my complete update routine, if I
can't get this one to run on all machines.

Thanks for any help, hints, workarounds or whatever could help!

Tiemo
