MLwiN crash on 'clear' or 'delete term'

Post by lizrichardson »

I get the error message 'MLwiN has stopped working' everytime I attempt to clear the equations window or delete a term. Upgrading to 2.29 hasn't fixed this. Has anyone else had this problem?

Do you get this behaviour using the sample worksheets provided with MLwiN, or is it worksheet specific? If it is a general problem could you describe the sequence of steps that you take before it occurs, otherwise could you send me an example worksheet where this happens (you can find my email address here: http://www.bris.ac.uk/cmm/team/) and I will try to determine the cause?

I had the same problem when I wanted to add a quadratic term to my equation. I wanted to remove one covariate and re-add it whilst specifying that it would be a polynomial, but that was followed by a crash each time. I had to re-start with an empty model. I could try to reproduce the error if that could help.

Yes, please. If you can provide a reproducible case then it will make it a lot easier to track down the cause.

Ehe, obviously it doesn't do that anymore. The crash was some days ago, so I don't remember exactly what I was doing. I'll keep my eyes peeled and will remember to post if it happens again in a similar situation.

Thank you
