I have just downloaded the uVision4 Beta and I have been so far unable to use it with a uV3 project due to a consistent crash. Note that I did not remove the uVision3 installation.
I am using Windows XP Professional, SP2.
The steps to reproduce the problem are the following:
1. Start uV4 2. Open the .uv3 project through Project > OpenProject... (and selecting 'Previous project files' on the drop-down list)
And the results:
1. An error message pops up with the following information:
"uVision - Path for Toolset undefined
'C:\Keil\TOOLS.INI' does not contain a tool path
You have selected a device where no toolchain has been installed."
I click on 'OK' to close the dialog.
2. Since there is no toolchain selected, nor can the project be compiled neither can a device be selected from the Device database under the 'Target Options'.
3. I then proceed to open the 'Components, Environment and Books' dialog in order to have a look whether the 'C:\Keil\TOOLS.INI' '(which is valid and present in the system).
4. There I try to see whether I can see more information about TOOLS.INI.
5. When clicking on the 'Folders/Extensions' tab on the 'Components, Environment and Books', uVision4 crashes with a standard Windows crash dialog without further information than 'uVision IDE has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' (note that this is an approximate translation from the original German message).
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Many thanks in advance.
Hi Filip,
Please could you report this case to support.intl@keil.com
Thanks, Richard
How about setting up a specific forum for the beta?
Preferably one where issues like this could be tracked...
