Problem:

When I've installed EurekaLog 7 - my IDE crashes on startup, during compilation or when exiting.

Reason:

• Delphi and C++ Builder IDEs are 32-bit processes, which are limited to 2 Gb of address space. There are also other known limits (such as command-line length, environment variables length and search paths length). Probably you have too many components and extensions installed, so when you install or use EurekaLog - these limits are reached.
• EurekaLog may conflict with other IDE extensions that also set hooks in IDE. Known examples are AQTime, madExcept or JCL. We're investigating these issues.
• In rare cases there may be a conflict with other external software. Typically antivirus/firewalls.

Solution:

First of all - upgrade to the latest EurekaLog version (your issue may already be fixed).

1. Try to remove unused components and extensions, try to remove search paths for unused components or re-arrange them to move EurekaLog first. If you can not remove any component or extension - then you can use EurekaLog without using EurekaLog IDE expert. Please read this article fore more information.
2. Try setting the "Project" - "Options" - "Delphi Compiler" - "Use MSBuild externally to compile" option to True. This will cause the compiler to run out of process (as a standalone process), which means a bit more free memory to actually do the work.
3. Go to Tools/EurekaLog/IDE options and uncheck "Catch IDE expert errors" options, then restart IDE.
4. Try to disable checking for updates (Tools/EurekaLog/IDE options).

Note:

Please note that limitations of 32-bit processes do not depend on your installed hardware memory (RAM) and disk space.
