touchgfx simulator error
After installing touchgfx 4.24.0 - 4.25.0 version, the example file is loaded and compiled, but the simulator does not work and an error occurs.
The OS environment is Windows 10.

I even formatted my PC to solve the problem.
I also reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable.
Below is the error logging list.

I don't think I'm the only one having this problem. Can someone tell me the cause?

Hello @djkim,

First could you please format the error message by inserting it as code sample so it's readable ?

BR,

@djkim it seems a memory issue on your machine.

Try running it as administrator or, if you have some specific antivirus software that block memory allocation, try disabling them.

I would also try to compile with fewer parallel jobs (change -j8 to -j4 or -j2) in Config -> Build

The same thing happens when I run touchgfx 4.25.0 on my personal laptop and home PC. It compiles, but errors occur when I run the simulator, run, and target. The same thing happens when I test multiple boards. The log file below is a simple example file that I loaded and ran as a simulator.

Touchgfx 4.25.0 is the same when I run it on my personal laptop and home PC. It compiles, but errors occur in the simulator, run, and target. It's the same even when I test multiple boards. The log file below is the result of a simple example file that I loaded and failed in the simulator.
1) Run with administrator rights.
2) If you have antivirus software, try disabling it.
3) Change -j8 to -j4 or -j2 in Config -> Build.
It's the same.
