I've been using Cameyo for a while now and think it's great. However, recently I tried to add a file to a new empty package. As soon as the windows explorer window appeared to select a file, Cameyo stops working. This also happens if I try to add a file to an existing package (or basically any time the explorer window appears)
I was running version 832 but I removed this and replaced it with version 834 to no avail. I've tried -remove and running Cameyo again several times, as well as running as Admin and turning off Antivirus. Could you please help me with this issue?
Instead of clicking the Add file icon within Package Editor, have you tried dragging the file you want to add from Windows Explorer to Package Editor?
Also, have you ever been able to add files without crashing Package Editor? In other words, is this a new problem of something you used to be able to do, or did the problem occur the very first time you tried to add a file?
Hello again and thanks for your help Mule. No, save as doesn't work either.
This made me realise that this problem must be new because I've definitely been able to do that before. This is a real shame because a number of the programs on my computer are now packaged with Cameyo and the ability to select and edit them is essential.
Do you have any ideas about what I can do to try and find out the problem? I've just deleted every registry entry related to cameyo and ran it again but it didn't make a difference. There's no issue with file permissions that I can see. I don't know what to try.
I'm not surpised that Save as doesn't work. What about Save? If Save works, you can use that as a workaround until we figure out what's causing the problem.
Since you weren't encountering the crash before, we can conclude something happened between the last time you were successful in Saving as and now. Have you made any recent changes to your system? When Cameyo was in beta, there was a version several hundred builds ago that caused a Runtime error on my laptop--not my desktop--that appeared to be tripped by a webcam showing up in Scanners & Cameras. The error went away by deleting a registry key. The bug was fixed in the next build. Anyway, I mention that example to show it could be a change in your system that you might not normally consider.
I tried starting cameyo with Windows in safe mode to see if anything was different and to my surprise it pretty much worked! I could navigate everywhere with the exception of "Computer". Thinking this was the problem I looked in Computer to see what could be causing a conflict. I noticed that I had a Nokia Bluetooth Exchange folder in my "Other" devices which only appeared recently when I downloaded some things from my phone. As soon as i removed this folder, Cameyo worked fine!
It seems that for some reason, the Bluetooth folder intefered with Cameyo when it opened windows explorer.
If it helps, I also took a look at my Administrative Events and an error report was generated each time Cameyo crashed. Here is one of the reports (they're all the same)
Faulting application name: PackageEditor.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x50864e44
Faulting module name: MSVCR80.dll, version: 8.0.50727.6195, time stamp: 0x4dcddbf3
I've re-produced this glitch by hooking up new hardware while the system was scanning seems cameyo keeps a copy of mapped devices unfortunately most anti-viruses and other type of scanners checking for space tends to make a divide by zero result. I'll try to get you the exact regisrty branch to prune from your packs when something like this arrives (For what I read you seemed to have removed the bad key). this may be a extra add-on to add to the "Pathtoavoid" list.
