SETLOCAL not working in BDEBUGGER

[cgunhouse]

I created a simple Batch file with just:

SETLOCAL
ECHO 1

and stepped past the "SETLOCAL" in the debugger and BDEBUGGER crashed in V26 but not in V22.

Not reproducible here. Try it with your TCSTART & TCMD.INI disabled.

What build of v26 are you running?

 

[cgunhouse]

Still crashes. No Plugin too.

Take Command V26.01.40 x64

Process Monitor shows the following just after executing the SETLOCAL:

As reported here quite a while back, IDE/BDEBUGGER often crashes (i.e., disappears) when I just start it or start debugging. It has happened 5-6 times in the last few minutes but I only have two new entries in "C:\ProgramData\JP Software\Take Command 26\ide.exception.log"

[2020/06/27 14:42:30.247] D:\TakeCommand26\Debugger\Debugger.cpp:364 CDebuggerApp::InitInstance() SEH Exception: 0x00007FF6B6412CEA - ACCESS_VIOLATION
[2020/06/27 14:56:42.929] D:\TakeCommand26\Debugger\Debugger.cpp:364 CDebuggerApp::InitInstance() SEH Exception: 0x00007FF6B61EA09D - ACCESS_VIOLATION

And I'm seeing something new. Twice (so far, today) I'll start debugging, get a few lines of output, then, for no apparent reason, get the "cancel batch" prompt in the console.

I set "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MediaPath" to the same as "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MediaPathUnexpanded" which was "%SystemRoot%\Media", and it now works.

 

[cgunhouse]

Or maybe not, the BTM program I was original testing still crashes on the SETLOCAL.

Nothing in the IDE or TCC queries those registry keys. You've got something else that's being pulled in - what does Process Explorer report for the loaded dll's?

That line means something *not* in IDE.EXE or TakeCmd.dll threw an unhandled exception.

I think I may have found the problem, I found a IDE.EXE in a suspended state and there are only a few reasons for that to happen. I have had a program call Process Lasso (Bitsum. Real-time CPU Optimization and Automation) running on my PCs for probable 10+ year. I have been using it mostly to throttle high I/O apps. It appears that it has been messing with IDE.EXE for some reason, even suspending it. I shut it down and things seem to be working. I'll probably talk to the author of Process Lasso about the issue. I may tell Process Lasso to ignore all Take Command Processes or since I have an i7-7700HQ Processor with 24 Gb of memory, throttle I/O bound processes may not be a good enough reason to keep on the computer.

There is a strange thing, I didn't seem to have the problem in V22 of Take Command.
