#198 Crash on start on a PC with NO internet
iCopy crashed on Startup on a PC with NO internet connection. I was offered to send an error report to Microsoft. i clicked on "don't send now" and iCopy terminates. Tried 1.5 beta 3 and 1.5 RC (1.49 doesn't work with my scanner, but has probably the same bug/problem)
No report.xml was created.
Problem seems to be the CheckForUpdate function which looks online for updates. If no internet connection exists the function seems to fail, resulting in this crash/problem.
How to fix: Open "iCopy.settings" with Notepad and look for "<checkforupdates>True</checkforupdates>" and set the value from "True" to "False".
Question: Why is there no option in the program to disable this check for Updates?
Hope my analysis helps, and my english is not too bad.
Dear user, thank you very much for your report.
The problem will be fixed in 1.5 final and there will also be an option to disable Check for Updates. In the meantime, your workaround is perferct.
For any other problem / suggestion, feel free to open a new bug thread.
Thx for fixing this so quickly. It's now working in v1.5.0 final without crashing, even if Check for Updates is true. Keep up the good work!
No problem, it was actually a simple bug. An unhandled exception thrown when the server is unreachable. I'm closing the thread.
