Archived ISE issues

When I try to open Xilinx ISE Webpack 10.1 I get this error message.
What can I do to solve the problem ? Reboot only ?
The ISE Webpack 10.1 seems to be very buggy.

Hello,

What is the OS you are using?

When do you see this error ? Like launching ISE or any other tool.

Regards

I'm using Windows XP SP 3.

Something is going wrong in Xilinx ISE Webpack 10.1 SP3.

As I already stated in another mail I can`t create a testbench by using New Source ---> Testbench.

Second I have this error that in some projects I can't do a simulation and get this "remains a black-box since it has no binding entity".

In the bevarioral simulation view the uut under the testbench has this red "nice" question mark.

I think because it is not found.

I thougt the problem was solved by installing the following patch.

ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/applications/misc/10sp3_gtx_gtp_fast_model_patch.zip

But this seems not be not the case.

I think I could generate this error by declaring a generic without assignment.

Something like:

generic

(

size : natural

);

I get this error every time I try to "cleanup project files" it crashes every time I try to do this. I am using WinXp SP3. I have the latest Xilinx tools. Is there any fix to this problem?

I have this same problem (exact same error message) whenever I try to start a new project (File->New Project...) - it actually pops up this error message twice and then closes the program. I'm on XP with SP3. Any ideas on fixes are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have faced a similar problem, also under windows xp sp3.

  I have tried to reinstall ise 11.1 after re-installation the problem was eliminated. However, after working with a project with a long directory path name - It may be the cause of the problem - the message appears again. So I have tried to play around with the windows registry editor  (regedit) since, I realized then that some wrong settings are being saved which causes the new project command to halt. I have searched within the registry for Xilinx/ISE11.1/ and there I have deleted the registry keys which I doubted, and finally after deleting some of them, the problem was successfully eliminated, voila!

Hint: the faulty register keys causing the problem is one of the keys under : HKEY_USERS\*\Software\Xilinx\ISE\11.1\

 and the name of the key usually contains "GUI".

Could u explain this more specifically, I cannot locate "GUI" in the path you have mentioned. Looking forward for your reply, thx!
