8.5 doesn't load properly

8.0 works correctly in a VM, yet when I moved to 8.5, after loading, the framing is a dark blue/grey and I can’t open projects, not terminate the program except through task manager. Moved back to 8.0 with no issue. Yet in a different VM, 8.5 upgrade from 8.0 worked fine.

Any suggestion?

What beta version do you have installed? If it’s .3453 try 3454 - I uploaded that a day after the beta release after finding some other issues.

Also what hypervisor are you using? I have it working here on hyper-v and proxmox (kvm).

VMWare 17.6.3 with Windows 11 VM’s. 3454 is the build of FB in both. The working VM has Delphi 12.x and is mostly used just for building my EXE’s.
The non-working one is my build VM and has more things, like Advanced Installer, Help and Manual, etc for the release build.

Ok that’s really odd, nothing has changed that could cause this. I will generate another build and see if that makes any difference.

Hmm, looks like 3454 didn’t actually have the changes I thought it did, try this build

Still not functioning. When starting, I notice a “Information” dialog with a getting information and a progress bar showing, then hiding. Then when trying to exit, dialog shows and hides again, but FB wont close. I have to end with task manager.

Check in the %TEMP% folder and see if there is a bugreport.txt file - if so send it to support.

What is the host OS that VMWare is running on?

Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 Guest that doesn’t work, yet same on one that works.

Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Host.

Just emailed the log. Shoulda recognized the progress dialog and MadExcept. lol

Yes madexcept :wink:

Got the file and it has some good clues - looking into it now.

Hi Lance

Thanks for the bugreport, found and fixed.

This build has the fix (will update the downloads page with this build shortly).
