Studio IDE crashes when browsing for folder on Windows XP [25]

status: closed
priority: high
reported in: 3.0.2039
fixed in: 3.3.120

This is the error I get when I try to browse for where to put the executable on Windows XP.

Executable C:\Program Files\Northcode\Studio3\studio.exe had the following unreoverable error:

While resolving reference to C:\Program Files\Northcode\Studio3\studio.exe:
No Section with Relative Virtual Address 0 in module C:\WINDOWS\system32\RFHelper.dll

Windows 98 doesn't show the error but takes a really long time to load up the dialog box when switching to my Computer. In XP I can't do anything else since studio then shuts down. In 98 it takes forever to set up the project.

RFHelper.dll appears to be part of a product called WebDrive which is an FTP client implemented as an Explorer shell extension.

Update: April 2006

More recently, people have reported similar problems with the file open and save dialogs when using another shell extension called Tortoise SVN. We have now replaced the file open, file save and browse for folder functions in the SWF Studio IDE and in the player engine with versions that will work with shell extensions.
