I just downloaded DBPro 7.6, and when I have my .DBA sources loaded and hit the run button, it starts to compile the executable and start the run console, but then the run console crashes and an error box pops up that reads:


I can edit my .DBA sources fine, but I just can't compile/debug/run them. Anyone else hear about this?

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If life were like a box of chocolates, I'd know what I would get... The one that got dropped on the floor and put back in the box.

Hi. Which IDE are you using? I'm pretty sure I've only ever encountered this error when I was playing around with trying to compile programs manually.

Manually? What do you mean by that?

....

(How else you can compile?)

Sorry that wasn't clear and I think it's probably totally irrelevant anyway. What I meant was I was trying to create a program in DBP without using an IDE.

Anyhow back on topic. Have you tried running the IDE in admin mode? I think this has solved this problem for some people.

And what does "run in admin mode" mean? Everybody says that for this error, but who wouldn't use their computer in admin mode?... at home...

XP user here, not 7 or Vista.

It sounds like the update hasn't installed correctly. Uninstall DBPro, reinstall, and then install the 7.6 directly on top of that.

Wait... you don't need to install every separate upgrades between the free to download version, and the latest?!

Sorry if I've misunderstood but although I am an administrator on my home computer, I don't run all programs in admin mode by default. To run in admin mode, I have to right click on the program (or its icon) go to properties > Compatibility > Privilege Level and tick the checkbox next to 'run this program as an administrator'.

Well this must be a win7 problem, because there's no such option in XP...

@Quel,
No - you only ever need to install the latest release.

Thanks Lucas! That worked. I didn't even check that! *flicks self in head* Duh! Haha.

@Quel: That sucks dude. Haha. I've never heard of a program needing to bridge updates before the current update can install. Unless, of
course, you're talking about like DOS and Apple days. Lol.

Also, the editor looks wildly different! ...More... 'Professional' I would say.

Anyway, I'm rambling and it's late. Thanks again for the input.

Well the fact you have never heard of any means only that you have never encountered one. It totally depends on the creator of the program.

It may seem obvious with a programming environment, but otherwise storing everything what has been ever done to the very first version in one single latest patch would be crazy. (i help: size... and a prime example: games)

It's a valid question - I, for example, have recently installed a piece of commercial software at work that has somewhere around 70 patches.

In addition, if you think about it, windows update does precisely that. Over time though those patches get rolled up into a service pack, and then the patching starts again.

Just think of DBPro patches as rolled-up releases.
