FreeAXP failed to create configuration file on Vista

I was very interested when I found out about FreeAXP. I downloaded & installed it on Windows Vista. When I attempted to create a new configuration file the program crashed. I copied the following from the details:

Problem signature:

Two questions:

- Are you running the program as an administrator?

- Which version of Vista?

I was running the program as an administrator.

Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1

Thanks. We have Vista Business SP2 x64 on a test box. I'll recheck the wizard under that O/S this evening.

In the meantime, here's a FreeAXP configuration file and a FreeAXP batch file you can modify to test. Note the sample configuration includes the extra serial port TTA0.

Batch File:

echo on
start "FreeAXP" "%ProgramFiles%\FreeAXP\freeaxp.exe"/config="\Alpha\AXP_Serial.cfg"
exit

FreeAXP Configuration File:

/* -- FreeAXP Config --

AXP_Serial.cfg
FreeAXP configuration defining second serial port (TTA0).
Do not modify this configuration using the FreeAXP Wizard.

-- */

cp = control
{
cp_log = logfile
{
filename = "\Alpha\AXP_Serial.log&quot
}

alpha = alpha
{
memory=128M;
image = "\Alpha\AXP_Serial.nvr&quot
pcibus = dc21071da
{
data = "\Alpha\AXP_Serial.toy&quot
serial0 = i16550
{
s0_tn = telnet
{
port = 9000;
wait = true;
action = """C:\Program Files\FreeAXP\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:9000&quot
}
}
serial1 = i16550
{
s1_tn = telnet
{
port = 9001;
wait = true;
action = """C:\Program Files\FreeAXP\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:9001&quot
}

I've tested the FreeAXP Beta 1.0.5.261 configuration wizard under Windows Vista Business SP2 x64 and not experienced any problems. I've created and modified configuration files.

Are you running 32 or 64-bit Vista?

We are releasing FreeAXP Beta 269 today. Try that kit.

I am using 32-bit Vista
