Bootstrap error
Bootstrap error
On trying to launch Ventity this morning I received the attached error. I can't get past that error message; it appears as soon as I click the Ventity icon, so I'm a bit stuck and I'd appreciate any help! I've come across the 'input string was not in a correct format' error before, but only in the context of web code, not an installed program.

Re: Bootstrap error
Are you running the latest version (1.0.1)?

Re: Bootstrap error
I think so; it's release date is 31st January.
Re: Bootstrap error
You were right, thank you. I didn't realise I wasn't running the latest version, but downloading that and installing it cured my problem.
Re: Bootstrap error
Great. 1.0.0 had that problem on some machines. We can't figure out what causes it, but fortunately we found a way to avoid it in 1.0.1. The releases were very close together, so it would have been easy to miss.

Re: Bootstrap error
I am having similar issues, corrupting work with no way to recover.
I find that when I download from the update page at http://ventity.biz/update/
I get a version dated 30 Jan 2017. The splash screen says I have version 1.0, although the zip file was labelled 1.01.
Is there another place I should be going?
I am running 64 bit on Windows Server 2008.
Will email my model files - see mail from GeorgeSimpson1@tfl.gov.uk

Re: Bootstrap error
Finding stability as long as I don't import entities and then rename the entity type. Maybe that was the issue. Fingers crossed!
Re: Bootstrap error
Do you know what your exact sequence is? I can open a model, import an entitytype from another model, rename it to "Fred," save & close the model, then reopen successfully. I must be missing a step in there somewhere.

Re: Bootstrap error
The problem was a rename that missed the on chart diagrams (the bug that allowed that may have already been fixed in the development copy). Fixed file attached.
Sorry about that!

I have the same problem, but it does not help. Are there other ways ?

Re: Bootstrap error
Can you send us the file? We should be able to repair it. Post or email is fine. Version 1.0.2 (next few days) will fix this permanently.
