#88 IVI Cver 1.0.2_1 crashes with Win 2000 and XP

[kevinbrace]

Hi,

I just installed IVI Cver 1.0.2_1 in my computer with
JRE 1.5.0_05, Eclipse 3.1M7 Platform, and Windows 2000 SP4.
Installation of IVI Cver went fine (Unlike 1.0.1_1
version), and then I installed minirisc reference
design (minirisc-1.0.2.tar.gz).
Unfortunately, when I try to run the minirisc reference
design, Cver crashes with the following message.

Program Error
cver.execver.ex.exe has generated errors and will be
closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.

The same type of crash used to happen with IVI Cver
1.0.1_1 as well (I somehow managed to install that
version into my computer after fighting the
installation problem for several hours.).
The same computer has Windows version of GPL Cver 2.11a
installed, and works fine.
I also tried IVI Cver 1.0.2_1 in a computer
with JRE 1.5.0_05, Eclipse 3.1M7 Platform, and Windows
XP SP2.
This time, IVI Cver itself doesn't seem to crash
outright like in Windows 2000, but Eclipse still
doesn't let me run IVI Cver.
This is the error message I got when I tried to run
minirisc-1.0.2.tar.gz reference design.

Hi,

I will add a little more details to the original bug report.
Cver in Eclipse IVI crashes when I run it from Windows 2000
SP4, but it doesn't outright crash when I run it from
Windows XP SP2.
Nonetheless, IVI Cver still doesn't work with Windows XP
when I try to run the minirisc reference design.
As an experiment, I decided to run the Cver.exe from Command
Prompt of Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and in Windows 2000,
the program crashes the same way it did with Eclipse, but in
Windows XP, it seems to work. (I am able to see that IVI
Cver uses Mingw32 instead of Cygwin.)
I have a Cygwin version of standalone Cver (Ver. 2.11a), and
it works fine with my Windows 2000 box.
