Hello Rob,
I am desperately hoping you can help me resolve this issue. I have been using strokes+ at home for approximately five years now. It is now so essential in my everyday usage, not having it makes it impossible for me to function on a computer. In fact, I made it a condition of my accepting a job at my current employer that I be allowed to install strokes plus. Trust me, this was no easy feat, but eventually they acquiesced.

I have been using it for approximately 1 year now at work, but updating the program requires IT to get involved, so it was not something I do that often (at work). I had done it one time before with no issues, but when I updated to 0.5.6.5, the program would no longer start, as it would get stuck at "initializing script engine" and generate an error dialog. A box with a title bar that simply says "Loading..." and a large red X in the dialog box area, along with quit, continue, and details buttons. Below this post is the error log I copied when clicking the details buttons.

Our IT department has tried installing several previous strokes plus versions going back to last summer with 0.5.3.5, and also I tried using the portable version, but they all end up with the same error. To me, this says something in our security policy has changed to cause this issue, but our IT department has not been able to figure it out.

Please help!

Can you have them install the trace version, just select all trace options, start S+, click Quit when you get the error, and send me the log file (details of location are in the post).

Thank you so much Rob for the lightning quick reply! I have forwarded your response onto our IT department. I will post the requested error log as soon as it is available.

I also just donated $20 to support continued development of this program. Honestly, this is something I should've done quite well back given how valuable this program is to me.

Our IT department manager is requesting that you provide documentation as to what access the tracing tool requires, whether that be to the Internet, locally, etc.

Is that possible? If it can be posted in this thread, I can direct them to that. If you need to email a document instead, you can send it to my email address associated with my forum account, and I will forward it to my IT department. Thanks in advance.

It's the exact same codebase as the normal S+, just with the TRACE flag set where these entries I have throughout the code will actually log to a file, instead of being ignored.
Code:
Trace.WriteLineIf(ServerState.TraceSegments.Contains("ClearScriptTypeLoadingEvents"), DateTime.Now + ": ScriptEngine.cs::" + System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name + "(): Calling LoadEngineObjects()");

Thank you again for such a quick reply! I will forward this to the IT department. Knowing their level of paranoia though, I am reasonably confident they're going to request additional information, but I will cross my fingers!

But really, you can extract the portable S+ to a folder, then download the trace portable version (it's only the EXE) to the same folder, and run the trace from there (unless IT would have to be involved either way, then may as well just install the regular one).

I would love to do that, but doing so without IT's approval is likely grounds for getting fired.

If they are fine with me running the portable "trace build" version in order to generate the error log, then that is what I will do. I will hopefully be able to move forward shortly. I cannot tell you how amazing such quick responses by you are… Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.

I would be more than happy to send you my settings file. I don't see a way to attach files to posts however… Am I missing something? Or should I send it directly to you by it email or some other method?

I am sure you have seen them by now, but but just to close out this portion of the thread… File has been sent to the email address provided.
