Hi,

The new version (AnkhSvn-2.1.7115.172) is a bit corrupt – get package load failures. However new daily build (AnkhSvn-Daily-2.1.7143.182) works fine on my Win2008 x64 with VS 2008.

Cheers,
Johan

Hi Bert, I’m running AnkhSVN 2.0 on Win2k using VS05 to support Classic ASP sites and have proof Ankh causes a problem in that configuration. It appears Ankh changes the registry settings the macros rely on. If I install Ankh I get Visual Studio Macro errors similar to: Exception from HRESULT: 0×8971001E AND sometimes have to reboot the whole system as I couldn’t even open paint to print out the error.
If I uninstall Ankh, manually delete the Visual Studio registry keys and reinstall VS I can run macros just fine. The second I install Ankh, without touching one other thing, I get these errors. [Other features of Ankh that I tested (prior to the error) such as committing, updating, comparing versions and visual cues to what exists in Subversion seem to work beautifully.] I have reproduced the error several times identifying Ankh as the culprit although I have not identified the precise registry key. I know my configuration is unusual and not supported by MS but I was hoping you might be able to tell me exactly what Ankh changes in the Visual Studio registry. [P.S. I did recieve another error earlier on, before the macro one, that Ankh complained about there being no web.config file in the same parent path of the local IIS site. But there is no web.config file for my Classic ASP site and I don't want one there because then VS wants to compile the site as .NET. I can successfully work with the Classic ASP site including using the debugger without that file. Is this a clue and/or related to what Ankh wants or expects wrt the macro issue and/or wrt the memory exception errors noted by other posters here?] Any direction you or another reader could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks much, Chris

AnkhSVN 2.0 is just released. It has full VS 2005 and VS 2008 support built in and works correctly on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.

I tried everything but nothing worked for me.

Then I tried what James suggested on Mar 4th, 2008 at 22:03

So I found the problem was in subversion and not in ankhsvn.

I uninstalled the subversion and downloaded zip of the same and then configured.

Now everything is working fine.

I am thinking to re-enable DEP.

James’ solution works but with one exception. If you need VB6 support the SVNVB6 this fix breaks the support. The one key difference is that a directory named “helpers” is missing from the .zip with a single file “svnpath.exe”. Restore this file from the full install of Subversion and the VB6 support will once again be functional.

I had the same issues as above – System.AccessViolationException to protected memory . . . . using AnkhSVN 1.0.3.2823-Trunk.msi on XP Pro SP2 with VS 2008 – what I had also installed was TortoiseSVN 1.4.8 and Subversion 1.4.6 windows installer – the issue I had was in the Subversion 1.4.6 windows installer package – uninstall Subversion 1.4.6 and then download the zip file for Subversion 1.4.6 and unzip everything works GREAT!!!

Installed AnkhSVN 1.0.3.2815 on XP Pro SP2 with VS2008 VSTS and I get the same connect.cs line 89 System.AccessViolationException to protected memory error. I still can’t run ankhsvn on my computer. I’ve tried all the above fixes. Does anyone know if there is a fix? Do you need any info frm me? How can I get this resolved?

Hi everyone,

Just one problem with 1.0.3.2815 and that is visual distortion when running in a machine with 120DPI display setting.

In the commit dialog box the “Press Ctrl-Enter to Commit” text runs into the “Commit” button.

I try clean install of VS 2008 on my computer (win. Vista). And this fix does not work. After ankh install I get this error message while loading VS. Do you have solution for this? Petr M.

This is the same error as reported above. A temporary fix is to use bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff although a new version of AnkhSVN that addresses this is due soon.

I recently started to use AnkhSVN with visual studio 2008, and the reg fix   the cmd line “bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff ”   and reboot worked just fine.
Thanks for the fix.
