I just got a Debugger Error "Illegal characters in path". I attempted to use the "Email Report" button but it refused to create and email message.
I have been using AutoIt3 for over a year and have developed a number of fairly complex apps. I have a decades long history of development in MS Visual Basic including some professionally. Over the past few weeks, I have been developing a new app and have had no problems until tonight.
Since the last successful compile, I had just made a couple of minor changes and attempted to "Run" the code in debug mode which I had done numerous times over the past couple of weeks. The error message above appeared. I described the error in the in the "mscorlib" dialog. Then I clicked the "Email Report" button as I have successfully done in the past. But it refused to create an email. I was not allowed to continue the debugger so it closed.
I attempted to reopen my code in the debugger but the debugger refused to even run--the error message reappeared before the debugger screen even opened. If I clicked "Continue Application", the debugger screen did appear but my code is was not displayed. I also was not able to open the big blue "Open..." button without the same error. As a result, I am no longer able to use the debugger at all. Thankfully, I AM able to load my code into SciTE so I can continue SOME of my work but I sure miss the debugger!
Based on the above, I am suspicious that the illegal character was written to the Registry as part of the debugger's list of last opened files. If that is the case, I am not sure where that list is kept in the Registry.
I am attaching a screen print of the error dialog data. If you can help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated.
