Repeated crash on Win7 64-bit; is version 4.5 real?
Repeated crash on Win7 64-bit; is version 4.5 real?
(OP)
I installed OpenFTA version 2 on Windows 7 64-bit. I can draw a fault tree, define Primary Events, and associate each basic event with a Primary Event. However, when I try to validate or create minimal cut sets, the application crashes without any error messages. The log file always says the same thing:
% An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside
% the VM.
%
% Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)
% occurred at PC=0x77AEE3C6
%
% Function=RtlInitUnicodeString+0x196
% Library=C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
%
% Current Java thread:
% at sun.awt.windows.WWindowPeer._setTitle(Native Method)
% <...snip large dump...>
This does not happen when I run OpenFTA on the accompanying example files. However, I noted that the syntax of the example *.fta files differ signficantly *.fta files created from scratch.
Has anyone successfully used OpenFTA recently on a modern windows platform e.g. Windows 7 64-bit? Were you operating in a locked down environment without administrator rights?
I noticed that there is an OpenFTA 4.5 at http://www.fileguru.com/OpenFTA/info. It's actually a pretty big deal for me to get things installed and test drive it for a few days. I'm wondering if it's a repackaing of the same version as the one I got from http://www.openfta.com. After all, there was no further development on OpenFTA, so how could the version jump from 2 to 4.5? Also, that site seems full of misleading links to other-ware, so I'm leery of spending time chasing down that rabbit hole.

Along these lines, I think I might have found the cause of the problem. When I installed OpenFTA on a different machine with an administrator account, I was able to create a tree from scratch, validate, and generate minimal cut sets. So the problem might be one of the following: (i) I need ownership of the OpenFTA intall directories, or (ii) I need admin rights.
Mind you, the machine that I had an administrator account on was an XP machine, whereas the one on which OpenFTA kept crashing was a Windows 7 64-bit machine. So it is possible that the cause is also related to the use of Windows 7 and/or 64-bits.
