Hi,
I have upgraded to v13.05, latest patch, since this problem also occurred in v13.04.
When i try to create a component, i cannot select the Package or the Default Reference pull down menu's.
I obtained a program crash on another task previously.
Have Windows XP Pro, SP3.
The previous crash related to OCX problem.
Is this a known bug, or should i install any Mircosoft patches/updates, .NET Framework update etc. ?. Thanks.
Regards,
Richard. |

As an update, have removed Easy-PC 11, 12 snd 13, reinstalled, installed .NET Framework 2 SP2, Framework 3 SP2 and Framework 3.5 SP1, JRE6u17 - still not working.
Not sure what other dependencies there may be. |

These two menus are populated from text files in the Easy-PC folder. It was decided some versions ago to supply these empty. This does NOT affect any existing components.
You can add your own contents in a text editor. You will need 'def_ref.txt' and 'package.txt'. The program will also remember any entries you make in the boxes when creating components. |

Hi Peter,
Thanks. My program must have been working on the previous versions texts - V11 or V12.
I have added a def_ref.txt file with each entry followed by a carriage return and this works. So i assume i have this correct ?.
If i do not create the def_ref.txt file, or the package.txt file, and add the entries into the create component boxes, will these files be automatically created ?. Thanks.
Regards,
Richard. |

The files should already exist in the Easy-PC folder as part of the installation. Adding entries in the component editor does cause them to be added to the relevant file.
It's not a definitive answer, but in other places where automatically modified files are missing, they are replaced automatically, so I would expect it to be the case for these as well. |

Hi Peter,
Yes - is now working - one file def_ref.txt already created was added to with entry in the relevant box, and package.txt was created when i entered the new entry into the relevant field.
Thanks.
Regards,
Richard. |
