Problem Signature 09: System.InvalidOperationException

I tried this on both my laptop and desktop. Both have Win 8.1.
Does this happen before the splashScreen is displayed?
Did you try the compatibility mode? Have you unblocked the archive after downloading and before unzipping?

Unzip the archive and replace the content of your 54.1 directory. but make sure you unblock the the archive before.

The Contact folders you specify have to contain at least one subdirectory containing image-files. Just like the Domme folder. Is this the case?

Have you specified the Card-Images in Settings -> Games?
What kind of crash?

It crashes before the splash screen. I just tried compatibility mode and it didn't work. It doesn't look like it needs to be unblocked. Wouldn't I get some warning about the file being unsafe if I did? To test it I downloaded the new version, unzipped, and tried running it without making any changes.

Donwloaded files are marked as not trustworthy and run in partial trust with limited rights. To remove this restrictions you have to unblock a file. If its a zip file, every extracted file is blocked unless the archive is unblocked before extracting. In Win7 it is located in file properties. I don't know if its Win8 the same. A Google search made it look like, there is a workaround necessary.
I can't confirm this, because i don't have access to Win8 and 8.1. Beware: Modifications to the registry are always risky, if you don't know what you're doing. Changes happen on your own risk!
A Search relating to the problem itself brought those results:
reinstall windows
Local User settings, Font settings, .Net installation
Language settings, .Net reinstallation

One other thing you could try: Rename the directory %localappdata%\Tease_AI temporary. Rename the Settigns folder in your TeaseAI Directory. When the startup is working afterwards, take the renamed directories and merge with the new created, without overwriting existing files. This applies only if the user.config file would be the problem. But this brings another errormessage.

That unblocking hack didn't seem to work, still getting the error. I don't know why that would be an issue though, considering it hasn't been for any versions in the past either. The appdata directory isn't actually generated by it, so there wasn't even anything for me to clear.

I would try debugging it myself, but Visual Studio needs me to make an account or some shit, and I can't even get to the login page.

Without to offending you: Do you think you're capable of it, as the VS-Studio setup itself seems to be a problem?
We could do a teamviever session, when you finally installed VS.

It's not the setup that's the issue. For whatever reason I can't connect to login.live.com. I can't even ping it, but it works fine in Linux, so it's a problem with my Windows install somewhere. I tried clearing my hosts file and it didn't do anything, and I don't have any firewall rules/whatever that should be doing anything to interfere. Tbh, I don't really know much about vb/.NET, but I'm very familiar with debugging, so there would be a chance I could work something out.

Then try VS2010. It works without Live-ID as far as i remember.
Let me know, if we can provide any further assistance.

I got VS 2015 working on my laptop instead since I'm able to use the trial period on that. The bug is in mySettings_Partial.vb on line 142. It fails on Path.GetDirectoryName(LocalAppFilePath) because the path doesn't exist. Manually creating the folder allowed it to launch normally.

Hi all, well done for the great work you continue to put into this project.

BUG REPORT
-------------
I keep getting an error with the new patches (since 54 i think) where TeaseAI will try to display an imagine (i'm not sure if this is one downloaded, but I have a feeling it's from one of the online resources) when I get the following error:
Spoiler: show

Essentially, I think the URL to an image is too long, is this even possible?

I managed to replicate how this looks by crashing the UI with another bug (more on that in a minute), which then make all of the UI blank out with white boxes with red crosses through (Image attached)

The second bug, which is one i've personally encountered since the early TeaseAI is when an online resource or downloaded GIF doesn't start, so the gif goes through the different slides and then stops, this causes TeaseAI to crash and some sort of image exception. When I recreated this I just clicked images and viewed one of tumblr resources which I know used lots of gifs and kept skipping until one crashed it (took about 15 gifs). As I was viewing this in preview, it through up another but which I think relates to scalling of the iamge some how (this is a guess), errorlog in spoiler below.
Spoiler: show
************** Exception Text **************

at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
I hope this report makes sense and is something that is fixable as unless i inspect each gif i download individually and deselect the URL links then I will continue to have teaseAI crash mid-session.

If anyone has any info, it would be really great if you could share it. I'm running XP on bootcamp on my macbook.

Thanks in advance

I am also having issues with the new version.

I'm also getting a fail to launch. I don't get a splash screen, I don't get an error... I do get an icon in the systray for a moment, but that goes away as soon as I hover my mouse over it. I'm not even seeing the program hit my process tree.
I have unblocked all the archives, have tried fresh installs, have tried overwritting over my old TeaseAI48 install.

I'm a bit out of the loop, I haven't tried to launch the program since TeaseAI 48.4(I think)
My old 48.4 install still works fine.

54.3 is starting fine for me. I know it doesn't much help you guys, maybe try 54.2 ?

Is there a way to define, in a script, how many lines someone should do in a given writing task? This could be awesome for some scripts I have been working on.
Thanks :)
And keep up the good work!

Maybe there was something in a previous patch that is missing in the 54.3 pack ?

Thats good to know! We'll update the Code to handle this. It's strange. At my place it creates the directory before. But never the less, you got the problem and it think others too. So we'll fix this. Thanks for your great support!

Maybe you are a casualty of this above bug. have you started patch 54.2 and 54.3 from the same directory? If so, try the following. Go to your "%LocalAppData%\Tease_AI" directory and open the folder where the 0.54.0.2 directory is in and Create a Folder named "0.52.3.0". But this applies only if you start 52.2 and 52.3 from the same directory.

Maybe the mentioned problem is yours too? Could you try this please?
It would be great if you could test this, to see if its related or something else we've to take care of.
curiousSK wrote:Essentially, I think the URL to an image is too long, is this even possible?
Yes it is. Could you show the url? in the ErrorLogs the URL is saved too.

This are actually two things - in my point of view.
First is: There are some GIF-Files which cause Tease-AI to freeze internally but without freezing the UI. Timer Events are not triggering but Click and all other events still work. In Version 0.52.0.2 we added a Watchdog, which detects this and disables the ImageAnimation. This allows the program to continue. We don't know yet why those images are a problem. Pepsifreak mentioned it is always from certain tumblr servers - but we don't have a confirmation about that now. The only thing i know, it occurs always on the same images. A workaround whats working for me is: I store the Images local and resave them in Photoshop. Afterwards it's working on those images. To avoid Remote Gifs, we added for debug proposals in 0.52.0.2 StartParameters relating to Gifs. If you want to disable the Gifs start Tease AI using the following batchfile:

Code: Select all

start "" "Tease AI.exe" -disableLocalGif -disableRemoteGif
The other way is possible too:

Code: Select all

start "" "Tease AI.exe" -forceLocalGif -forceRemoteGif
The Red Cross thing is another problem. I know this problem, when i run Tease-AI in a virtual machine (VMware) and Win7. When using a virtual Win 10 i never had that problem. But i've native Win7 so i didn't try that many virtual machines. Do you use your boy only for Tease-AI or are there any other programs which have this GDI+ problem?

It's the only issue which I have found relating to GDI+, I do use it for other things, and used to use some windows photo manipulation and video editing software etc which i would have thought were much more graphically taxing.

I hope this start with batch files, or something else resolves it, as I really don't want to have to disable all gifs for the sake of a few rouge ones :lol:

Thanks again!
