Hello,

I hope you’re keeping well.

My program started showing a weird error, I closed it and turned my virtual machine on and off again. Now when I try to open it I get that error and then it crashes. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.

Are you able to open it with another project? Or are you using git?

I’m just after managing getting the project up and running again. I really don’t know what I did differently, but I was able to get in, although it showed a massive amount of errors. I changed all the runtimes to not defined and back again, and then I changed them back, cleaned configuration, cold restart, and then I tackled the initial problem which was some bug in my Function block diagram.

I know I can do checkpoints in my VM, but is there anyway to backup your projects in AS4?

Better solution to backup your project is some version of source control (Git repository), you can use visual studio code for example.

Thanks very much, I’ve used git with vscode before for backing up C++ code. Does it also back up visual code like function block diagrams.

Thanks for your help!
