Exception EConvertError in module sicmplr.dll at 000079FF

Post by NSanderson »

With the arrival of version 3.0.0.5 of Resource Builder, there appears to be a new problem when converting from a .RC file to a .RES file.

It fails and displays the following message:
'Exception EConvertError in module sicmplr.dll at 000079FF'.

Can this be investigated please? Interestingly, Visual C++ 6.0 handles the conversion without problems as did Resource Builder v2.6 that we trialled.

Many thanks,

Could you please send us RC file that reproduces this problem?

P.S. There is already 3.0.0.7 available. You can just use File | Update menu item to update.

Hi Igor,

I can't see a way of attaching the file 'as is' but this is the contents of one of the files:

#define S1_AMOUNT 1
#define S2_PLEASE_ENTER_AMOUNT 2
#define S3_TRANSACTION_NUMBER 3

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE 0x09,0x01 // English USA
{
S1_AMOUNT, "Amount ("
S2_PLEASE_ENTER_AMOUNT, "Please enter amount tendered:"
S3_TRANSACTION_NUMBER, "Transaction number:"
}

And that's it! Loads fine as a .RC file but fails with the error when trying to 'Save As...' a .RES file.

We're trying to convert some VB6 code to support multiple languages and so we have a utility (written in VC++ 6.0) that trawls through our code and extracts the strings, dropping them into the .rc file which we edit and convert with resource builder to get a VB compliant .res file.

As I said, RB 2.6 that we had on trial before buying the full v3 used to translate these files OK but 3 fails.

Cheers,

Neil Sanderson.

Hi Igor,

I've eventually managed to update to version 3.0.0.7.

Still does the same though.

There is 3.0.0.8 build just uploaded. It shall fix this issue as well as issue with re-ordering of #defines.
Best regards,
