I'd updated the updater database but not the download link. It links to our servers as it is freeware.

Love this, but alas it keeps freezing up about halfway through most games...

Windows 7 Pro x64

Sad

(Win XP ok so far)

edit... spoke too soon... now freezing on both machines...

DOes it just freeze? Or does it comeback? Any error messages? I have now run this on XP SP3 as well as 7 home premium 64 bit and can not duplicate this

It just freezes when notifications like "Your Turn To Play" appear and the game in progress will not resume... I can click items in the menu bar (though the one for "Hint" is greyed out) or close the app.

So you are unable to choose a card? Hmmmm

Can you try redownloading and installing?

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss

No, cannot select any card. Thinking the same and will redownload and try independently as have been using Dropbox (think it may be Dropbox?)...

Will let you know if any more probs...

Somehow I made this an office category in appinfo.ini

Also wonder if there is a tracker on this so I can update the developer on number of downloads?

I think the registry key also encompasses too much so it will intrude on the other games to, will it not? I think a Rev is in order.

I understand what you mean? I only dealt with the keys specific to each game. Each gameisstored in same root key but under different sub roots

Your current Quick Cribbage launcher takes over HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wesley Steiner. If the other apps use keys under that, they will collide if run at the same time and break portability. The launcher should have the RegistryKeys section set to HKCU\Software\Publisher\AppName and then have a RegistryCleanupIfEmpty of HKCU\Software\Publisher as explained in the launcher manual.

I followed the launcher manual or at least I THOUGHT I had

I went with this:

This also applies for more complex subtrees. (Try to think of more useful file names that “appname1” and “appname2” for your own applications.) In the example below, note that order is important. If the key numbers of the [RegistryCleanupIfEmpty] values were the other way round, it would try to delete HKCU\Software\Publisher first, and find that it wasn’t empty (because it would have Type in it) and so it wouldn’t be cleaned up.

But will fix it asap or have you pull the app

That only applies to cleanup and that all makes sense. But you need to have the key be as specific as possible.

Edited

I have a minor revision made, fixing the appinfo ini glitch and I believe addressing your concerns I will forward a link to you.
I have your packaging of it and I do not see a splash screen setup for it?

I did note that you had made an addition to my original launcher, just not sure why this current issue was not discovered then?

Caffeine just kicked in (got to love the Diet Mt. Dew) and I just realized what you mean and what I did wrong, ignore the email. I will send you a revision by tomorrow as well as revising the Quick Poker and uploading a Beta Bridge.

Sorry I was brain dead Smile

Revision 2 better handles portability when run at the same time as other games by the same publisher and fixes category selection of the app for categories/folders in the upcoming beta platform. (vf2nsr: you had the category as Game instead of Games)

John Must not have had enough Dew. BTW been testing and all is good interacts with the other games quite nicely
