App won't run or compile

General

Hi all, I have an older Web App that I have built in Xojo 2019 R3.2 that I compile as a standalone Windows executable. I was working on some changes to the app the other day when the power supply in my PC failed. After I got that replaced I was able to load the application okay, however, when I attempt to run it or compile it Xojo gets through the compiling then freezes and becomes unresponsive.

I have tried the following with no joy:
(on my original computer)

  • tried opening a backup copy
  • tried clearing the caches
  • deleting the Debug compile folder
  • saving the file from binary_xojo_project to just xojo_project
  • ran chkdsk on my drive

(fired up a new computer with fresh install of Windows 11 and installed Xojo 2019R3.2 and added MBS plugins)

  • tried opening original file
  • tried opening backup file
  • tried clearing caches
  • tried replacing MBS plugins with latest
  • tried opening a different project and it loads and compiles just fine.

I assume at this point it is something with the project specifically or possibly some cache that I missed but I cleared the caches manually in the AppData\Roaming\Xojo folder and also clicked the Clear Caches button in the GUI under build settings.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

this days i had an issue with windows security, could you exclude the project folder and xojo ide for a test.
if you can compile, is there any output in cmd window if you start it there?
at new pc was there any window asking for network permissions?
the used port is in allowed range?

Well, you’re saying you tried with a backup project; this one couldn’t make the same symptoms if only the original project was corrupted (corruption doesn’t move across projects).

Do both projects share one or more external items?
