I just updated to version 5125. I have an ESS and updated to the latest plugin for it. I renamed my old Mach4 installation and installed version 5125. Imported my backed up profile.
On the first start of my profile I get this error and Mach crashes
I uninstalled and reinstalled same thig.
Found the missing file in my old installation copied it over and things loaded.
In the old version every time I closed Mach4 it would crash and I would get the crash report that didn't help me. Same thing happens in 5125 but this time when I tried to start Mach4 and select my profile it would immediately crash. Mach4 will only start again if I select a stock profile to load, then close Mach4, restart it and select my profile but even that is a roll of the dice and sometimes rebooting the PC is the only way to get it to start.
I have changed back to a stock screenset hoping that would help but it doesn't.
Loading a stock profile has no issues with craching on close.
Any ideas? I really do not want to have to redo my entire profile and configuration.

Same for me with 5125 and ESS 298. In my old Mach4Hobby folder there is no C:\Mach4Hobby\lua folder so none of those files exist, old or new install.
I simply went back to 4809 with the new 298 ESS plugin and it's fine.
So what is it with the new versions and these missing files?
-
Interesting. I didn't notice the entire missing folder :)
Does probing work properly using the new ESS plugin and Mach4 4809?

I just looked at my old installation and there is no C:\Mach4Hobby4809\lua folder there either.

I THINK so, I thought that was the reason for 298.

Go post over there, too!!! Someone there said 5125 worked fine for them, so something strange is going on here!!

Greg, the Developer/Moderator at Warp9, said to post it over here lol I did post what I was running into there in case anyone else had the same issues.

Link to the thread you posted in over on Warp9td? I can't find it!!!

Trial and test got me to the fact that it's my custom edited version of old wx4.set that's the problem. Everything else, including my old profile, works until I load my old screen set. So I guess I'll have to scratch my head and remember where all those edits are and edit the new dark screen (which I personally kind of like!) to get all my necessary stuff in there.
