I am getting error "DSCENGINE.EXE had generated error and will be closed by windows"

[Uttam Kotdiya]

Configuration of my PC is
OS - Windows 2000 professional ver 5.00.2195
Software - Labview DSC Runtime 6.02 with fixes applied.
RAM 256 MB
Hard disk 20 GB

I am geting this error even if I run DSC Engine with default.scf file.
I had tried it running through Tag Configuration editor and by running DSCENGINE.EXE through explorer. I am getting same error.
Can anyone sugggest possible reason?

Uttam,

could you be more specific about the error?
Is it a crash in DSCEngine.exe?
If so, could you turn on to log the crash dump/Dr Watson file for Windows 2000 and attach the Dr Watson log file?

Brainstorming:
*Is your database totaly corrupted? - Delete all the files in \data folder (or wherever the default.scf is configured to log the data) before you start the engine.
*Is the default.scf file corrupt? - Create a new .scf file with maybe one Analog Memory Tag and try to start the Engine.

Otherwise, a more descriptve error would give maybe other ideas.

Hope this helps
Roland
