Running multiple VB scripting components causes OpenController crash

Tech Note: TN0266
Product: OpenController
Version: < 2.7
Date Added: 2007-09-13

Issue

Attempting to run multiple VB scripting components will cause the OpenController to crash. Current versions of OpenController allow you to place two scripting components in the workspace if they are different versions (i.e. one VBScript and one VBScriptEx component). When put into run mode, OpenController program freezes up and is unresponsive.

Workaround

When writing VB Scripts in OpenController make sure that you are using only one scripting component. It will not be possible to add multiple VBScript and VBScriptEx components in OpenController versions above 2.6.

Solution

Update to latest version of OpenEx version 2.8 or later.
