Thank you for supplying the crashing file. It appears certain NPC standing cache files have a sharetab which is not understood correctly, causing this crash. I’ve committed the fix to libevecache, and will build a new Contribtastic later today.

Does not crash after the cleanup. Emailed you crashing set of cache files.

For those of you having crashes with the uploader, and are willing to help by sending me your cache folder, please try the following:
- Shut down EVE
- Make a copy/zip of the CachedMethodCalls folder
- Delete the contents of the CachedMethodCalls folder
- Start up EVE
- See if the uploader crashes.
- Send the zip file of the CachedMethodCalls folder and a report if its crashing or not to yann@stackfoundry.com

I will be adding logging in the next version to help trace this issue. As these things go, my test setups do not have any issues with the evecache.dll crashing, but I obviously don’t have all available cache files on my system.

Alpha2 runs on Vista x64, but crashes after doing a full pass on cache folder (53 entries uploaded in my case). Also, while uploading it doesn’t show item names but IDs instead.

The client wants to see the CachedMethodCalls folder right now. I’ll update the documentation to make this clearer.

I am also spinning alpha2 to fix packaging issues on Windows XP.

Set it to C:\Documents and Settings\Stuart\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\MachoNet\87.237.38.200\219\CachedMethodCalls

and it finds stuff to upload but it crashes when it completes the first upload.

Delete POWRPROF.dll (in the same directory as uploader.exe) if you have the same error as I did and it’ll work fine. Apparently WinXP uses a different version of that file and having a newer one causes problems.

My version now runs but no matter what I set the cache location to it doesn’t seem to find anything to upload. I’ve tried:
C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\Cache
C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\Cache\
C:\Documents and Settings\Stuart\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache
C:\Documents and Settings\Stuart\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\cache

all with no luck

It does not appear to work on my Windows XP install.
