WxWidgets Debug Alert

Hi,

I have been using BS2 without too many drama's since July. Occasionally it would restart my system but seemed to work ok after that. I did notice that once I clicked the Equipment icon yesterday that it restarted but hasn't happened again. On with the real problem -->

My current issue is that as of tonight I am unable to open BS2 at all. I get the following error message;

WxWidgets Debug Alert
..\wx\include\wx/dynarray.h(833): assert "uiIndex < m_nCount" failed in wxBaseArrayInt::Item().
Do you want to stop the program?
You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings.

Doesn't matter if I click 'Yes, No or Cancel', the program won't start and each time I try, I get the above error message.

I tried restarting and the error was still present.

I'm running Windows XP (SP3) with Automatic Updates 'on' and everything up to date.

I downloaded the BS2 installer again as suggested. Reinstalled, tried again - same error.

Installed the  Visual C++ 2008 runtime, nothing seems to have happened, error is still present. Still unable to open BS2.

:'( I use BS2 almost every day, love the program - hopefully I won't lose my recipes.

Any help appreciated,

Cheers

 
Hi,
  I would guess that somehow one of the files has been corrupted in some way.

You have two options:
  - You can try build 42 which is here on the forum - it might correct the issue as I did fix some issues with it:
      http://www.beersmith.com/forum/index.php/topic,5649.0.html

  - Option B is to rename your Documents/BeerSmith2 directory which will result in a clean install.  Rename it to something like "BeerSmith_OLD" and then restart BeerSmith
  - Once you restart it should come up with an empty set of recipes and likely ask you for your registration key again
  - After you have it up and running you can open the "Recipe.bsmx" and other files in your BeerSmith_OLD directory and then copy/paste items from it as needed into your new copy.  If you have trouble opening a file, you can also try the backups which are numbered (Recipe1.bsmx for example).

Cheers,
Brad
 
Hi Brad,

Thanks, I had also arrived at the same conclusion (Option B). I uninstalled completely after backing up the BS2 folder and then cut/paste the .bsmx files back in once reinstalled. No problems, working fine again  :)

Cheers
