Hi Dino, It fails both on ipy and ipy64. Unfortunately I'm not sure executing such a debugging would really be an option, I communicate with the user via email only and it would be too much to ask of him to do these debugging steps himself (I already bothered him enough with all the "try this" st

The AV exception here indicates that something is going wrong in native code - it sounds like it could be a CLR bug or a crash in some other component. Does this all repro with just ipy.exe (so in 32-bit mode)? The best way to figure out what's going on is to use the native debuggers. You ca

I'd like to create a 'Who's using IronPython?' to show the IronPython is being used and maybe help drive adoption. (See http://www.boost.org/users/uses_open.html for an example). What I need: Company Name [commercial] Product [commercial] or Project [OSS] Name URL Description of product/project I

Two quick answers: 1. It's not critical, unless you need access COM objects (like Word/Excel automation or something). 2. The exact same code is in 2.7, and I think it's still active. 3. I can't understand why it would break like that when examining those assemblies. Dino? Thoughts? - Jeff On Mo

Well in the end I built it from the ZIP package :). Anyway, here are some results. IP always breaks down when examining System.Runtime.Hosting.ActivationArguments type, on the if (type.IsImport && type.IsInterface) line. This is the only type the method breaks down on. PublishComTypes examin

IronPython_2_6 should be all you need. The rest is the start of 2.7 that later got moved to GitHub. - Jeff On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Igor Brejc wrote: > Hi Jeff, > One question: I'm looking at the codeplex SVN repository (since I assume > this is where 2.6.2 code still resides). What exac

Hi Jeff, One question: I'm looking at the codeplex SVN repository (since I assume this is where 2.6.2 code still resides). What exactly do I need to check out in order to be able to build it? IronPython_2_6 directory or the whole repository? There seems to be a lot of stuff in the IronPython_Main

Hi Jeff, Thanks for responding. I'll update the SO question if/when someone (I guess it will probably have to be me) figures out what the problem is. One update: we did some more debugging. The user installed IronPython 2.6.2 msi (.NET 2.0) and ipy64.exe breaks down when run. I guess this exclude

Hi Igor, The exception is occurring somewhere in IronPython's COM interop code, but I'm not exactly sure why - the code where the exception occurred pulls COM types out of interop assemblies. You'll have to (somehow) figure out what assembly is getting loaded in the AppDomain when the exception ha
