DecoderFallbackException during initialization

[gonen]

Hi

i've recently purchased measurement studio 8.0.1 working with visual studio 2005 (.net 2.0)

all my projects includes measurement studio's visual components like numeric edit controls

all my projects compile well

for some projects during initialization of the components an exception is raised.

this exception is raised on the first Ni component trying to intialize during class initialization no matter which NI component is first.

error is as follows:

System.Text.DecoderFallbackException was unhandled
  Message="Unable to translate bytes [ED][AF] at index 20 from specified code page to Unicode."
  Source="mscorlib"
  Index=20

attached is the full description with the stack

pleases notice that it has something to do with the licensing

Hi gonen

What are the regional settings of the OS? Is this an English OS? Is this problem occuring on only one machine? Is it possible to try this on another machine and see if this happens?

Thanks
