PowerBuilder crashing when opening workspace on startup
Symptom
When trying to start PowerBuilder, it is crashing immediately.
PowerBuilder is trying to reopen the last workspace on startup.
Environment
PowerBuilder
Reproducing the Issue
Try to open a corrupt workspace in PowerBuilder, and PowerBuilder
will shut down immediately.
Cause
Corruption of an object within the last workspace: when starting
PowerBuilder, it tries to load the last workspace causing the
crash.
Solution
To start PowerBuilder without it loading the last workspace,
change the ReopenWorkspace=1 property to ReopenWorkspace=0 in the pb.ini
under the [PB] section.
To avoid this issue, you can also set this same property in the
PowerBuilder IDE. Go to Tools -> System Options -> Workspaces and
uncheck the ‘Reopen Workspace on startup’.
