[Koren Yaron]

Hi,
After long time using without any problem today I got an error regarding the http plugin. After that the program crashes every time with the following report:

External component has thrown an exception.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I've tried it. Also tried uninstalling keepass, removing any reference I could find to keepass or its plugins (C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\KeePass Password Safe 2,C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\KeePass\KeePass.config.xml etc), restarting and installing again. Same results.
Is there a way to figure out from the report what exactly is the problem?
Thanks, Yaron

Hi,
Going back to 2.29 fixed it.

[Paul]

Seems the plug-in is not compatible with KP 2.30. You should alert the plug-in author.

cheers, Paul

Not a single line was changed (from KeePass 2.29 to 2.30) in the code of the stack trace. Thus I agree with Paul that the error must be caused externally, e.g. through a plugin incompatibility or a broken .NET installation.

Best regards,
Dominik
