ST Visual Developer says ''out of memory'' and crashes when trying to launch the programming tool

I have been using ST Visual Developer for 6 months without this issue. I was having problems with a project I am working on and thought that re-installing the tool might help. Once I un-installed the tool and installed the latest version the program will either crash after a few minutes, or crash immediately when launching the programming tool. It gives me the error message 'Out of Memory'

Any resolutions to this issue?

Hello,

The 'out of memory' error makes think about issue with ever growing .wed and .wdb files, which should be deleted in this case (see also chapter 3.3 of STVD release notes). The crash with the programming tool is confirmed with STVD-4.3.12; it might be workarounded by using stvp/tools.cnf file from previous version (STVP-3.4.0) attached here (keep a copy of the original file if wanting to use STVP-3.4.1 later, without having to reinstall). The real fix will be provided later.

If the crash persists, please join the file stvd/stvd_pm.log in order to allow easier investigations. ________________ Attachments : tools.cnf.zip : https://st--c.eu10.content.force.com/sfc/dist/version/download/?oid=00Db0000000YtG6&ids=0680X000006HyEY&d=%2Fa%2F0X0000000b5C%2F1sIa3iUbq_l7hHViMuRMVO70mBHfGIeHGCYM2UsURVA&asPdf=false

I am also using STVD-4.3.12.  Replacing the tools.cnf file in the stvp directory corrected the crashes that I was experiencing when trying to use the programmer from STVD.  Thank you for supplying the workaround.

the file tool.cnf does not exist in my installation, even if it does not work, the defect remains

It's in STVP directory, not STVD !!!

You must have this file...STVP wouldn't working in standalone mode.

Rgds,
