Hello,

I've run into an issue where WINDOW won't calculate nominal glass and IGU sizes. The WINDOW .ini file seems to add extra rows with 0.0000 and -1.0000 values without any action on my part. This .ini change happens after WINDOW is closed.

I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
  • removing the extraneous lines from the .ini file;
  • deleting the .ini file and letting W7.8 recreate it; and
  • doing a fresh install of W7.8.
Thank you for looking into this issue!

What version of WINDOW are you using? 

This was a problem in WINDOW 7.8.57, but we have fixed it in 7.8.74.

You can also fix it by hand, and I can provide a "good" ini file to start with.

Hmm, interesting. I thought we had fixed it in that version. 

I will attach a standard INI file in a bit.
