wircd.exe hangs

[Jo-W]

For some reason when i startup unreal wircd hangs, and then i need to reboot before it closes. First it checks the log files then it hangs, cant connect to it, etc. and it does not create any log files, except when i make a conf file mistake.

I'm running windows xp pro without a service pack. everything was fine till i rebooted my comp...

Things i have tried:

1. non ssl version precompiled
2. ssl version precomplied
3. cvs version precompiled
4. cvs version compilied myself
5. executing as service using unreal start (nothing in service.log)
6. executing normal (opening wircd.exe)
7. reinstalling
8. running it as an other user
9. slapping my comp

Have you tried getting the normal 3.2Release (ie NOT cvs) and compiling that?

dunno where to get that, but i doubt it will work, since all 4 versions i tried worked before :/

I restarted my comp and voila wircd hangs. but thanks anyways

hmm aperently this happend after i installed SDK platform, any1 knows how to undo its changes?

[w00t]

Knowing Microsoft, probably a reinstall. However, do try the "add remove programs" and in there, "Windows Components" or something similar.

I use VS.NET myself, so I have no such troubles.

hmm maybe thats the problem i have visual studio C++, visual Basic.
lets see if it works when I reinstall visual studio c++

didn't work, already expected that it wouldnt

Sorry, I'm unable to help you with this. Perhaps one of the coders, or another community member might have a suggestion.
