[FIX] Unhandled Exception in ConfigEditor.exe

Kinetic ERP
1

I know this method is going away, but can anybody with 2022.2 or greater use ConfigEditor.exe? Even if you don’t change anything and hit save, does it crash for you?

I know a workaround, but I’m wondering if it’s just me. This might happen in 2021.x and 2022.1 but I don’t have those installed to try.

Mine works in 2023.1, and 2022.2

Weird. What does the EOBrowser section look like in your usersettings node in the sysconfig file?

Ok the plot thickens.

I have a 2022.2 instance with that section completely absent. → No crash
I have a 2023.1 instance with that section completely absent. → No crash

I have a 2022.2 instance with:

<EOBrowser>
  <LogPath value="C:\Users\klincecum\AppData\Roaming\epicor\log" />
  <LogEnabled value="false" />
</EOBrowser>

And it crashes.

Ok, that makes sense. The configuration app has the following entries:

The XML is:

    <EnableVideoHelp value="True" />
    <EOBrowser>
      <!-- Sets the extra command line arguments for EO Browser -->
      <ExtraCommandLines value=" --use-simple-cache-backend=on" />
    </EOBrowser>
    <!--Browser to use for login with Epicor Identity Provider-->
    <IdpBrowser value="Embedded" options="Embedded|System" />

The code pulls the XML node by the name of the control, and since it’s a textbox it’s looking for the “value” attribute that is present in the other two entries shown.

Just changing it to this gets rid of the crash

    <EOBrowser value="">
      <!-- Sets the extra command line arguments for EO Browser -->

Again, not a big issue, but wanted to note it in case others had the same problem.
