Application Stops Working On Exit - Windows 10, CVI 2013

[d.]

Hi,

I just moved from Win 7 to Win 10.  Now, every application I built under Win 7 or rebuilt under Win 10 "stops working" on exit.  I found a couple posts which were similar and posted to one, but got no replies.  As another user did, I did a return 0; immediately following main() and I get the same error.

My suspicion is Win 10 and cvirte.dll are not compatible.  But I honestly do not know.  I saw a similar reference to this in CVI 2015 that was reported by NI as a bug.  I don't know if it has been fixed.

Any solutions to this?

Thanks,

Dave

Sorry, I've attached a picture.

Is this the same problem as reported in this thread? And does the workaround suggested there work? (deleting font files in some folders of the Run-time install)

If not, can you tell us which version of Win10 you are running?

Roberto,

I can't tell you how impressed I am that you are a "Proven Zealot."  Wish I had that tag.

Curiously, I did see that post before and after reading through the first handful of posts decided it didn't apply to me.  But I read through it to the end tried deleting the font folders.  My applications now run and terminate properly.  Comments in that thread still indicate this is only a work-around.

This is weird though. Years ago (1990's?), you had to install the font directory or your application wouldn't run at all.  But for some reason (which I no longer remember), I had to stop installing the font directory with my applications for Windows 10.  Since I'm not doing it and my clients don't use CVI, I would assume I can continue to distribute install files without the font directory and they should not have any problems.  IOW, the work around is OK for me personally, and I probably won't have to worry about it for my clients.

Thanks for the pointer.

BTW, I'm a zealot too, but I won't get into why here.  🙂
