<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm new to CoDeSys, and unfortunately I'm running into problems with CoDeSys crashing.</p> <p>On CoDeSys start, if I try to open the archive of a project, or a project, or even just go to Tools &gt; Device repository with nothing loaded in CoDeSys, a message comes up on screen, saying:</p> <p><strong>Rebuilding device cache</strong><br/> The installed device description files are ready to build a cache. This will take some time.</p> <p>The PC starts running really slow, with blue spinning cursor. And 5 minutes later, CodeSys crashes.<br/> I've searched the forum, and also googled, but unfortunately was unable to find mention of this problem</p> <p>Here's what I've tried myself, so far, to see if I could find out where the problem arises. All without success, unfortunately.</p> <p>1) Rebooted<br/> 2) Uninstalled CodeSys, rebooted, reinstalled<br/> 3) Installed CoDeSys on another PC (first is Win7 Pro 64-bit SP1, second Win10 Enterprise 64-bit V1703 15063.1446)<br/> 4) Ran CoDeSys as Administrator, just in case that was the problem<br/> 5) Re-extracted project from virgin archive file<br/> 6) Navigated into hidden folder C:\ProgramData\CoDeSys\Devices, and renamed the devicecache.xml file within, to xdevicecache.xml, to get CoDeSys to re-generate a fresh one<br/> 7) As 6), but deleted said file<br/> 8) Navigated into hidden folder C:\ProgramData\CoDeSys and renamed Devices folder to xDevices, to try to get CoDeSys to regenerate, but it baulked at missing drivers.</p> <p>About 3), I got the same message during install. Then something named RepTool crashes. CodeSys otherwise seemed to have installed OK.</p> <p>I'm using 'CoDeSys V3.5 SP1 Patch 2', as that is what was used for the project. If at all possible, I really need to keep with that, to be sure we are generating the same executable code as in present shipping product. I guess by now, there are later versions. Is this crashing behaviour a known problem, maybe, with 'CoDeSys V3.5 SP1 Patch 2' ?</p> <p>The really odd thing here, is that I was using 'CoDeSys V3.5 SP1 Patch 2' around 6 months ago, on the Win7 PC, and I had no such error message then ! There's been a few dozen Windows updates come down the pipe since then, mind.</p> <p>Help !!</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>David</p></div>
