Crash when module not found (Windows)

[Thijs Schreijer]

When I install an unavailable module, LuaDist crashes, I get a pop-up window to terminate the application, and this is what is displayed in the console window;


C:\Temp\_bootstrap\_install\bin\luadist-5.1\bin>luadist install whatevermodule
Cannot install package 'whatevermodule': No suitable candidate for package 'whatevermodule' found.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

C:\Temp\_bootstrap\_install\bin\luadist-5.1\bin>


Any ideas?

In the case that the module requested for installation wasn't found, luadist utility returns an error code 1, which may (or may not) be the reason why Windows shows the warning... Which version of Windows do you use?

Win7, 64bit

An errorcode (as exitcode) is not shown in Windows. Only in batch files the ERRORLEVEL shell variable can be used to examine the exitcode of a previous command. But in this case the process doesn't exit, it crashes, and shows a message (modal dialog) that it did so.

I've tried both luadist-0.2.7 installed from source and binary distribution of luadist 0.2.3 downloaded from luadist.org on my virtual 64-bit Windows 7 installation in Virtualbox and couldn't repeat the problem.
