I currently have no idea what might have caused this. Haven't seen it till now. But I just updated my server that runs 24/7 and has to process some thousends EG-Events every day with EG 0.3.0 and I will look if I get a simliar error.

Same thing just started happening to me and now I can't get EvenGhost running. Also, I can't stop EventGhost either, I have to kill it now.

Any ideas?

[EDIT]

Just reinstalled and tried to run again, same problem.

[EDIT Part 2]

Looks like the MyConfig.xml file got corrupted somehow, if I remove the MyConfig such that EventGhost can't find it then it will start. Once I load a good config xml it runs. If I go back to the old "bad" xml, it dies. with the above error.

[Bitmonster]

Please email your corrupted XML to this email:

and I will look into it.

[falkyre]

On it's way!

[Bitmonster]

Yes, you found a really interesting bug. It happens if you use "Enable exclusive folder/macro" on a toplevel item, as you did in your autostart-macro. This will also disable the autostart-macro and then EG gets wired.

I have sent you a repaired version with the corrupting action disabled, so it should load again.

I will have to think about, how I can prevent such situation in the future.

[falkyre]

Thanks for the very quick response. When I get home, I'll give the config a try.

[falkyre]

That fixed it.

Thanks!
