Restarting Homeseer

[jon00]

W2K is the key!

I did a search on the Internet. There are loads of posted issues with the VB.NET command I use to start Homeseer when used under W2K. I'll have to re-visit this to find a solution.

[fran_joel]

Ah... ok!

I thought it would be something like that... ! (that's good for my ego... )

Joel,

I've made a very small change to the file. As I do not have a W2K system, could you give this a try and let me know if it now works or continues to error.

Thanks,

(New version now posted at top of thread).

Cool!

Restart stops with .net error

Every day now I have to close the restart.

I have loaded the version from April 2008 but it didn't seem to help.

Anybody else having this problem and found a solution?

Running XP SP2.

Steve,

Was this working before or has it never worked?

What is the error and what OS are you running HS on?

[sponnath]

This was working very reliably every night. No problems.

Then recently, it started acting up. It stays up and I get a copy of Internet Explorer running that says I have had a .net error. I clear the Explorer window, close the Jonrestart by clicking the X of that window, restart the pc and it restarts and brings up HS normally.

I am running XP Pro SP2, have not gone 3. Haven't loaded any updates in quite some time as too busy at work.

I will have to capture errors next time it occurs. Usually it's 6am and I am rushing to get ready for work so I don't stop to collect info.

If there's a remnant of info or a log file that I can send you that persists, let me know where to find it and I can send that.


Thanks for the assist.

[jon00]

There is nothing much to the exe so I'm surprised that it is causing an error. Post the error message when you have time.

[sponnath]

I get a message of a file not found.

Here's the text from the error box.

Long shot, but, have you tried repairing NET?

Having said that I installed a SP for NET and ever since then the repair facility has gone.

Went to do a repair, no way. So simply unistalled and re-installed.

Did not cure my specific problem though.

Anyway, just a thought, as there is a reference to NET in your last post.

[sponnath]

I will give that a try and let you know. Thanks for the tip.

Steve,

Odd...

When this error occurs, has Homeseer already been closed or is it still running?

Do you also have the "X" closes Homeseer ticked?

Finally do you have shutdown.exe in your Windows/system32 directory?

[sponnath]

>When this error occurs, has Homeseer already been closed or is it still running?

HS is closed. The small bar of Jonrestart is up. That's it.


>Do you also have the "X" closes Homeseer ticked?
Yes.


>Finally do you have shutdown.exe in your Windows/system32 directory?
Yes.


I ran two nights Ok. The third night got a failure with file not found again.

I did notice this morning that when I click continue in the error message box, then the jonrestart window bar shows on the screen. Homeseer is closed though before the error.
