Trouble with VO 2.8 Repository - crash when starting...

[omoser]

Hi All, working on preparing the transition to X#, and suddenly run into troubles..
All worked fine, but seems that somehow my repo crashed, and i cannot even reindex it.

IDE-ERR.LOG shows following error:

Date/Time: 2020-11-24 20:20:06
Version : Visual Objects 2.8 SP4 build 2838
Error : An unhandled exception (0xC0000005) occurred inside module:
: C:cavo28sp4BinCavosupp.dll at 0x74D3C1B6
Registers: EAX = 0x05DB000C EBX = 0x09DB0000 ECX = 0x00E9C30C EDX = 0x05DB0000
: ESI = 0x05DB0000 EDI = 0x0000002B ESP = 0x004FE1F4 EBP = 0x09DB3020

I still have the hope that there is a trick with the index files, because all files have the change date of 20.11.2020, what was the working version. The file APPTAB.VO and _CATALOG.VO have the date of the 24.11.2020, there i made a small change, but it seems that this could not be saved correctly, and since then i could not open this repo. i included a screenshot to demonstrate this.
Another test Repo could be opened without any problems.

Thanks in advance for any tipps or hints what to do / try out to fix this.

Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
maybe this thread may help?

Oliver,
Try this:

Anyway you might try this:
- BACKUP your repo. Save this for later, you might need it.
- Look for a repo that still works (for example the Data Folder under your VO installation). I call this source. Your broken repo is the target
- copy repname.ind from the source to the target
- copy reptype.ind from the source to the target
- you will find one or more .voa files in the target folder
- Make sure each of these files has a partner .idx file. When this file is missing, take an abritrary .idx file from the source and copy it and rename it. So Test.voa should also have a Test.idx
- Try to open the project and when you can, DO NOT reindex, but export every application to an AEF first to save your source
- After that try to reindex.

If that does not work then please send me the backup and I will perform some magic over here.
