Fix for Resedit
Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:21 PM

To All

I have been trying to isolate the "service" that causes Resedit to Start and then quit ... quite by accident I disabled the Networking services and Resedit is now working .. Connect the internet ( either wireless or ethernet ) and Resedit starts and quits.

I can deal with that ... however that tells me that Resedit ( probably ) is trying to "Dial Home to Mom" and Resedit dot net is no longer active and for whatever reason causes the application to just Quit. I would appreciate if anyone else having this problem with Resedit could test my theory .. just disconnect your internet connection and see if the program becomes stable again.

Thanks
Rick Lipkin

Hmm, that is interesting.

However I just tried running Resedit, with and without an internet connection, and it didn't have a problem either way. I also forced a "phone home" by selecting the menu choice, "Check for updates" and all I got was a message to check my internet connection.

I am using WiFi network/internet access, are you, or are you using a wired network connection? Maybe that is the difference although I can't imagine why.

Rick,

You are right. Disconnect internet then it runs properly, and even if you reconnect again it continues working.

But with internet connection, it exits on start.

The ResEdit case... :-)

It seems as it connects to 69.16.230.42 to check for the latest version:

HTTP:Request, GET /v_1.6.6
HTTP:Response, HTTP/1.1, Status: Ok, URL: /v_1.6.6

Hmm, I wonder if the reason it works for me may be that I get directed to a different DNS server than you guys are?

If we can locate the programs author, maybe we could get him to remove that automatic update check?

In the meantime you can just set "airplane mode" on before you launch Resedit, then turn it off again when done. A pain but it would work. I just noticed that there is an airplane icon in my taskbar (that I didn't put there) that turns on airplane mode. Makes it a little easier.

Rick, James,

A workaround is to first detect your internet connection: (from a cmd window)
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
netsh interface show interface

Then you create this go.bat and run it in admin mode:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" disable
start c:\software\resedit\resedit.exe
ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 > nul
netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" enable

change the path for resedit.exe to yours. Here it works :-)
ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 > nul waits for 5 secs which seems enough to bypass the connection try
regards, saludos

Well, I guess we can't contact the author, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. It seems he has passed away.

Much simpler:

Just uncheck the option "Auto check updates" from "Options", "Preferences", "General"

and the problem goes away

I have the auto check update enabled and resedit works fine. The problem may be elsewhere.

Now, where is the challenge in that?

You solved it not once, but twice!

Now what are we going to do to keep busy?

I guess that is why you are the head honcho around here.

Rick's great internet connection finding pointed us to use the Microsoft Network monitor...

Then we understood that the app was trying to update itself...

After seeing the app's option it was worth to try it :-)

Muchas gracias Antonio!!
Hace como un mes que tuve que dejar de usarlo
No se molesten los que usan Pelles C; pero a ResEdit lo encuentro mucho mas practico

Un detalle; se me cerraba inmediatamente al ingresar por primera vez; de manera que ni podia llegar al menu Opciones
Desabilité Internet... y ya estamos de vuelta en su uso!

Graciasssss!!

Hi,

it is just a curiosity, but resedit works perfectly to design the screens for tweb in php, and they can also be used with fwh

I think it is a good alternative and a good resource... :D

Salutacions, saludos, regards
