VS Ultimate 2020 is here, and it is crashing.
I did the normal Process Monitor review for the system and found that my regular user account had no access to folder: C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel VideoStudio 2020\Ulead.dat\ I'm not surprised as I never got support people to understand what is different with regular account and high privileges accounts. My bad
But I could fix that problem easily by command:
Code: Select all
icacls .\Ulead.dat\ /grant myUserID:F /tThen I took a second view to process monitor, but could not found any "access denied" messages. But on there I could found, that one of the last path it was accessing was:
C:\Users\myUserID\Documents\Corel VideoStudio Pro\My Projects\2017 12 xMas party.VSP
before VS started its crashing procedure.
Obviously, the next action was to rename folder:
C:\Users\myUserID\Documents\Corel VideoStudio Pro\My Projects
to:
C:\Users\myUserID\Documents\Corel VideoStudio Pro\My Projects.old
Idea is that VS2020 should not go through any of those old project I have from earlier versions of VS.
Bam! It started without any problems.
Then I found of course lmmd's thread: VideoStudio Ult 2020 Crashes Opening VS Ult 2019 Project
Windows itself says about the issue on report.wer file:
FriendlyEventName=Stopped working
ConsentKey=APPCRASH
AppName=Corel VideoStudio
AppPath=C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel VideoStudio 2020\vstudio.exe
So in my mind VS started to hanging.
I already verified that when I created a new "my project" folder and copied earlier mentioned project "2017 12 xMas party.VSP" into there, VS fails to start again. Let see how many of those old projects have the same problem.
