CW 9 for Palm on XP, using Project Wizard crashes CW??

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Although I've been fairly pleased with Palm development on a Macintosh,
I have recently had to do some coding on Windows XP and I'm running
across a number of problems using CW 9.1 (and I've also used 9.3) on
that platform.

One problem has been in using the project wizards (either C or C++). I
do this:

1) "New...". Choose "C Application Wizard". Give it a name.
2) Click Next>.
3) Yes at the alert about STRT.
4) I unchecked the MSL checkbox. It crashes with it checked too.
Next>
5) Don't click any other SDK. Just "Finish".

Result: It hesitates in the midst of building the project. And then
CodeWarrior just crashes.

I've already uninstalled/reinstalled once and I never get unusual
messages. Normally I might just let it go except I'm having other,
different problems which might be related to libraries and build
settings, and having an "approved" project to start with is handy in
that respect.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Rob Stevenson

This usually means that the project files in the RAD_Stationery\Palm_OS
folder have been opened, and the resulting Data folders haven't been
removed. The wizard will crash if those folders are left around, as the
wizard tries to copy them into the new project folder, but they are
invalid for the newly created project.
