Stack Overflow when using FDS5 in Windows

[K.Pedersen]

When running a large case using FDS 5.2.3 and/or 5.3.1 on a single
Windows machine I get the following error:

" forrtl: servere(170): Program Exception - stack overflow "

I've been looking around and found out how to increase the stack size
in FDS4 ( editbin /stack:100000000 fds4.exe) but this does not seem to
work for FDS5:

" 'editbin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file "

Can anyone tell me how to increase the stack size when running windows
please?

Search your computer to see if you have editbin. That will still
work. Also look for dumpbin
dumpbin /header filename will give the current stack size in the file.

I've been trying on two computers.

Editbin.exe is present on both machines

Machine 1 still displays the same message (editbin not recognised)
Machine 2 now says " : error : cannot execute LINK.EXE "

dumpbin is not recognised on either of the machines (if this is also a
physical file, then it is not present on either machines)

dumpbin should be in the same location as editbin. If editbin is on
the machine, but not recognized at a prompt, then it is not in your
path.
Do you have a link.exe on your machine? If not, then you will of
course not be able to execute it.

Thanks for that, but I'm still not able to run my model.

When FDS was re-installed on my machine on Friday, there were no files
called link.exe or dumpbin.exe

I've lockated two Link.exe under a FDS4 folder and have copied these
accross (one at a time) and tried to run the simulation again.

When running the editbin command (with either of the link files) I get
the following windows pop-up error:

"link.exe - Unable To Locate Component, This application has failed
to start because mspdb60.dll was not found. Re-installing the
application may fix this problem."

mspdb60.dll is already on the machine (under C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shard\VBA\VBA6)

this .dll is not "authorised" and when trying to authorise it will not
be allowed by microsoft

I'm not sure what else I can try.

Any suggestions?

I do not think that editbin is going to help you. I compile the 32 bit
Windows executable using the maximum stacksize allocation. If you'd
like, start an Issue in the Issue Tracker, post the input file, and I
can try the case on my machine, which is a 32 bit XP machine with 4 GB
RAM.
