HippoEDIT crashes at startup after installing updates
Normally this shall not happen. But if it is happened, try:
- Install newest MFC libraries: uninstall the editor (not full uninstall), install Microsoft redistributable modules for VS 2005 and re-install HippoEDIT. For x32 versions you need vcredist_x86.EXE for x64 vcredist_x64.EXE.
- Call HippoEDIT with –init flag to clean up cache files. cmd.exe hippoedit.exe –init
- Do full uninstall (including user settings), and FULL reinstall.
If does not help, try to locate the issue
- Do full uninstall of the x86/x64 version (including user data)
- Check Installation Directory, if something has been left. If yes, note what is left (and send this info to supportbox), delete Installation Directory.
- Install HippoEDIT x86/x64 in Full configuration: if you install on top of older version, and configuration of installer has been changed, you can get Custom configuration automatically selected and not all modules will be installed.
- If after fresh installation application still crashes, try to delete plugins dlls one by one in %Installation Directory%\plugins
- If even after deleting all plugins application still crashes on start up, download Dependency Walker and open %Installation Directory%\hippoedit.exe with it and check if some required dlls are missing. Dependency walker will show missing dependency in the log.
