iCamSource NOT WORKING!

[knk805]

So icamsource is not working at all for me. I am running Windows Vista. I installed it, uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled, and still I get the same thing everytime. As soon as I click on the icon on my desktop it says "iCamSource.exe has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem" Then after that it comes back with " A problem cause the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" , but then it has two buttons "debug" or "close program"..if you hit debug it goes back to the first message...and needs to close. Help. I just put iCam on my iPhone but I can't get iCamSource to work first! Anything>

When the iCamSource crashes when you first run it, it is usually an issue with the VC++ Redist or .NET

The latest version may require the latest VC++ Redistributable on some systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

It probably wouldn't hurt to also make sure all Windows Updates are installed as well.

i reinstalled the VC++ Redistributable and then ran windows update, and it in fact found an update for the VC++ Redistributable.  I updated, then i installed icamsource, and restarted, and it still crashes before loading.  is there a crash log of some kind in windows?

[Stefan]

We are currently trying to reproduce the crash on our own Windows installs, and we do appreciate your patience.

The three things that usually fixed a crash-on-startup of the iCamSource were:

1. Installing all the latest Windows Updates.
2. Installing the latest VC++ Redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en
3. Installing the latest version of .NET: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en

If none of those things fix your issue, you can uninstall 1.4 and re-install the previous version of the iCamSource to see if that one still works for you: http://skjm.com/icam/iCamSetup1.3.6.exe

We are currently trying to determine what the issue with 1.4 is and will post an update when a new version is available.

Thanks again for your help and patience!

As noted in a different thread, icamsource1.4 is working on one win 7 machine and not the other. The one it is working on is 32-bit win 7 pro, and the other that is not working is on a win7 pro 64-bit OS. Perhaps this is the issue.

thanks Stefan, you are very quick at responding, i did everything you suggested and i have the same results.  one quick note, i do have Microsoft Security Essentials installed...

[Stefan]

is there a crash log of some kind in windows?

If you right-click on Computer and choose Manager > Event Viewer you can see a list of Errors that have to do with the iCamSource.

I am having the exact same problem with iCamSource... I'm running Vista 32-bit and also getting this as the application error:

"Faulting application iCamSource.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4afb080f, faulting module MSVCR90.dll, version 9.0.30729.1, time stamp 0x488ef6c5, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0003b690, process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10."

Did all the re-installations of .NET and vcredist_x86.exe along with the windows updates and restarts...The previous version also gives the same results..

Really need help, cannot for the life of me figure out what is interfering/conflicting with this application...

Same exact error here on Windows 7 x64.  I also tried rolling back to a previously working version just to have the same crash.

[leeway99]

I have the same problem and same Error message~

I had already tried to reinstall Win 7 32bit & 64 bit, C++ , .NET ,

Windows update, Reboot....... No any effect.

Waitting long long time just for  iCam 1.3 release,But icamsource crash...lol..

[Stefan]

Just a quick update: We have been able to reproduce it on a clean Windows install and are now tracking down the cause of the problem.
