Does anyone else have issues with the PowerBuilder IDE and UltraEdit not playing well together? For years, I have been unable to run my app from the PB IDE more than once. On second attempts to run the app from the same IDE session, it crashes and I have to restart the PB IDE. I just got used to it and put up with it.
Back in December 2022, my company gave me a new laptop. I was unable to install UltraEdit right away due to a licensing issue and PB was glorious. I could run our app from the PB IDE as many times as I wanted just like grown up PowerBuilder developers. Then when the UltraEdit licensing issue was resolved and I installed it, back to the crashing when attempting to run my app from the same PB IDE session on second attempts.
I stepped through it in debug mode once and found it is crashing inside a 3rd Party encryption tool (Password Protection Professional, or "PPP") that is ancient, its original development house long since gone out of business. I suppose it could be any combo of the three (PowerBuilder, UltraEdit, PPP) so I was just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience or is it just me? (we are PB 2019 Build 2170 on Windows 10 v22h2)
