Error: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook...

[E. Smith]

This is a new SubversionNotify 2.0.10 setup. I set things as best I could in the .cfg file and followed the very simple install instructions linked to from subversionotify.com.

My commits fail with this message in TortoiseSVN's message box:

Commit failed (details follow):
Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 128) with no output.

I expect it’s just something in my SubversionNotify.cfg file, which I've copied below (with identifying info redacted). Any ideas?

Also note that no .log file gets created in my "c:\subversionnotify\&quot; directory. So perhaps subversionnotify.exe is not getting called? The path to it in each of my hooks\ batch files have been changed so they are correct for my chosen installation directory.

Could you post the content of your batch file/s?
What happens if you execute subversionnotify.exe via cmd?

[E. Smith]

When I run subversionnotify.exe via com.com, I get

SubversionNotify.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.
<OK>

I hadn't reported that originally as I thought it just had to be run with appropriate args and didn't behave well otherwise. I was probably wrong.

Here are my hooks\ batch files:

pre-commit.bat:
c:\subversionnotify\SubversionNotify.exe %1 %2 -pre

post-commit.bat:
set REPOS=%1
set REV=%2
c:\subversionnotify\SubversionNotify.exe %REPOS% %REV% -post

pre-revprop-change.bat:
"c:\subversionnotify\SubversionNotify.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5  -preprop

Are you sure that you have installed the .NET 2.0 runtime?
You can get it here:

Thanks, batzendev. Installing the .NET 2.0 runtime got me past that problem.
