At least I’m not alone (and I do see that yet others also reported getting only a “beep”)!

I hope the GAOTD team calls developers’ attention to these kind of “late-followup” comments. Perhaps they are some of the more useful ones for actual bugs in the code, whereas the earlier ones are more useful as related to first impressions and features (or lack of them).

I had one and it did not want to install until I uninstalled the other.

Other then having to download Adobes .FLA program Which I do not need anyway.

It is very good software.. Thank you Givewaway OF The Day. And the Makers of Flash Trillix…

Ran fd3.exe through Dependency Walker (depends.exe) and get this:
00:00:02.235: First chance exception 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) occurred in “c:\windows\system32\KERNEL32.DLL” at address 0x7C80A2E8.
00:00:02.235: Second chance exception 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) occurred in “c:\windows\system32\KERNEL32.DLL” at address 0x7C80A2E8.
00:00:02.235: Exited “c:\program files\eltima software\flash decompiler trillix\FD3.EXE” (process 0x98C) with code -1073741819 (0xC0000005).

Logged in as Administrator and program permissions look OK. Oh well.. here goes the uninstall.

Checking up on yesterday’s final comments I see that I was not alone in getting a single “beep” when the program tried to launch. I thought perhaps someone might have posted a solution, but it seems that there were several of us trying/struggling towards the end of the offer period to get Flash Decompiler Trillix to work before the offer expired.

Perhaps that’s why the overall “Thumbs UP/DOWN” ratio dropped from what I recall seeing yesterday — people having installation problems yet not leaving comments about it.

Before uninstalling, I thought I would take the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) adjustments one step further. Previously I had created an entry to “except” the executable FD3.EXE with the only “positive-step” result being that I began to get an error message when attempting to run the program (Access Violation) in addition to the beep.

So today I decided to change my DEP setting to the less-protective “Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only”. After the required RESTART, I still got only a beep.

I uninstalled Flash Decompiler Trillix and returned my DEP setting back to “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select”.

Too bad, but that’s the risk with the GAOTD offers — no guarantees things are bug free. It would have been nice to use. Perhaps Eltima can figure this out and post some useful info on their support pages (or better yet, fix the proglem before the next version!).

(I sure wish I knew what was going on. I have a pretty good track record of getting things to work — there is only 1 single DEP exception entry for all software on my machine, which has close-to-300 program folders under “Program Files”.)

Found this similar entry on their website support pages:

http://www.eltima.com/forum/index.php?topic=3440.0

It hinted at adding an entry for excluding Flash Decompiler from DEP. After doing that, I began getting an error message similar to the one in the post at that link (in addition to the error sound previously mentioned):

Error: Access violation at 0x7C80A378 (tried to write to 0x80502F5A) program terminated.

Unfortunately, the other items mentioned in that post did not help, including running the “clear_all.reg” file (“…run this file and it will clear all Flash Decompiler settings except your Registration info…”) and checking to see if any “compability” choices were set (they were not).

I’m running Windows XP MCE SP2.

Still no luck. Also tried uninstalling the GAOTD version, then installing the trial one from the product website. Same lack of results (except for the “error beep/chime/bell” sound) — no error message of any kind when the program fails to launch.

Confirmed that the Adobe Flash player update installed earlier was the latest by visiting the test page at Adobe.

This is a first for me. It must be some sort of permission issue, perhaps key entries within the Registry itself if not the “Program Files\Eltima Software” folders/sub-folders/file objects. Since I am running as the Administrator, I’m not sure what is wrong.

Those who don’t know why they might need this or the difference between a decompiler and editor DONT NEED THIS; Its not that complicated. Its a good program whether you need it or not.

As mentioned, it didn’t help get things working for me.
