Geof, I can confirm both, CPU is fairly old (see below, Intel Core i7 860 CPU, introduced Q3’09) and I did use the “any CPU” version.
Further, I have followed your instructions and replaced the HackRF.dll (and also the HackRF.lib) with the downloaded one and that surely did fix things up, no more crashes! So thanks a lot, really appreciate your work! In the mean time I have been debugging with Python (although I am really not an expert at this) and may have narrowed the problem to the module runtime_swig.py, function swig_import_helper. Not sure if it may help you with further debugging, if you are interested. I have attached a screencap of debugging info. Thanks again, best regards, Martijn From: Discuss-gnuradio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Geof Nieboer Sent: vrijdag 14 april 2017 21:09 To: Marcus Müller <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GRC 3.7.11 on Windows crashes python.exe Martjin, On the windows build, most likely the problem is in the build scripts... we build two versions, one with maximum optimizations for AVX2 capable CPUs, and a generic one. Sometimes, however, AVX2 instructions get into the regular build for a number of reasons (qwt in particular has been an issue because of qmake's build system). That will cause the "illegal instruction" error. SO, if you can confirm the below: 1- The machine you are running on has a somewhat older CPU 2- You downloaded the installer from the "any CPU" link. If those cases are true, then the bug is in my scripts. As I don't have a HackRF, it's difficult to test. Please let me know the answer to the above. In the meantime, download the HackRF dll directly from www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio/downloads.htm<http://www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio/downloads.htm> (near the bottom), and drop that in the /bin directory to see if that fixes the problem (renaming the old version to .old just in case), and see if that patches things up. That's the DLL from the last build, but I don't believe the driver has changed so it should work.

I'm pretty optimistic that hackrf.dll wasn't compiled for a CPU that's incompatible to yours, so this might essentially be a bug – either in the hackrf driver dll (which might be jumping into machine code that isn't code), or in the way the windows DLL loader is used. Hm. Maybe even a compiler bug. Now, I have to admit that under Unixes, I'd know how to debug this, but under Windows, I'm out of my depth. So if you happen to be more capable than I am with that, you could try to run "python C:\path\to\your\flow_graph_python_file.py" in a debugger and see where it crashes. But even then, I don't know if things would be easy to figure out.
