    Windows 7 Pro SP1 64Bit 4 GB Ram Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz

    On a new installation of Bitcoin 0.6.3

    Initial and subsequent launches of bitcoin-qt.exe result in the following message at the splashscreen:

    "A fatal error occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

    EXCEPTION: N5boost12interprocess22interprocess_exceptionE

    Access is denied.

    D:\Program FIles (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe in Runaway exception"

    Clicking Okay closes the window.

    I uninstalled/ reinstalled in a new location. Same result.

    sigh it's an boost:interprocess issue again. Looks like a permission issue for the shared memory.

    Boost:ipc is only used for URL handling, so errors like this should not terminate the application. I'll investigate this.

    Can you try the 0.7.0rc just in case?

    @laanwj I'm sure URI-handling is not active on Windows with 0.6.3, so I'm surprised then...

    I'm new here, I can't find where to get the 0.7.0rc. Thanks.

    @Sladien Here you go http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/test/

    Installed 0.7.0rc and it executes without error, currently synchronizing with network.

    Sounds good :), I'm still not sure what would cause that boost exception with 0.6.3 though...

    IIRC, 0.6.x used boost::interprocess for everything

  9. laanwj commented at 1:25 PM on September 7, 2012: member

    I'm surprised that 0.7.x fixed this. But it could indeed be due to 0.6.x using boost::interprocess in places it should not. Closing this issue.

    That usually happens if ~/.bitcoin is not accessible.
