Windows 7 unxpected error during find in files

Post by mtessler »

Using windowsx 7 and textpad 5.4.2, I get an unexpected error doing search->find in files.

The dialog doesn't come up, it jumps right to unexpected error and creates a DMP file.
Have uninstalled & reinstalled textpad several times, but the error does not alleviate.

The following commands also cause the crash:
view -> Tool Output
view -> search results
vew -> document selector

Please try renaming the file config.xml, which you will find at one of the following locations, and then try starting up TextPad. Exit from TextPad before renaming the file.

In Vista and windows 7 its stored here:

C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\5.0.


I hope this helps.

Just happened to me on a (very rarely used machine). Uninstall/repair did not resolve this.

Thanks for posting!
