Vip runtime error 178 (ViP Specific)

My Vip application which was working fine this morning is behaving rather badly at the moment. Whenever I try launching the app in the designer, I get the following messages:

1. Vip runtime error 128

__P_5B47.1

2. Vip lsisbl.c langloadmodule

LSILoad-]12

3.Load error

error

This happens no matter which of the windows I set as the startup window, the error messages just pop up. Since I did very minor changes to the code and yesterday's locked application still works fine, I don't know what's going on. Uninstalling Vip designer, rebooting and reinstalling it did not help at all. Please help.

This error (usually) occurs in script when it is being asked to load a DLL that it cannot find. I think that without question you should go back to the version that works, since you have made only "small" code changes, and track it down.

I would look for any script you changed, first for typos (misspelled words) and also if you are using any Lib declarations. Since the original version works, you can be sure that it is something you changed that did it.

Hello John, thanks for the help.

I did in fact use a lib call to the same dll used in vipreg.lso to retreive registry values.

However this could not be the source of the problem, since it was used in only one window and the results would be the same no matter which window I tried to load first. The way I solved the problem further proves this.

I created a new ViP application, and opened the problematic app

simultaneously. Then I dragged and dropped the windows in the problematic app to the new app. After copying the contents of the public module to the new app and setting the starup window as it should be, I saved the new app.

Results : I am left with two identical apps, only file names differ.

The new one works perfectly and the other one still behaves bad.
