LEAP Support Question Edito Barcelona edbarcelona <a href="mailto:edito@edmc.ieej.or.jp">edito@edmc.ieej.or.jp</a>
Dear Dr. Heaps:



I installed Leap 2006 Version 2006.01. When I tried to create a new area

from default data, an error occurs, i.e. "Failed to open data file:

GridTable.DB, Empty Expression". Then I am prompted to "Abort" by the

program. How do I creat a new area from default data without LEAP aborting

prematurely?





Best regards,



Edito

Hi Edito,



This seems to be due to a bug in 2006.001. I think the bug is fixed in 2006.002 which I just posted.



However, if problems still arise you may also need to quit LEAP, delete the _dictionaty, _default, _work and freedonia folders (under the LEAP program folder) and then run LEAP again. Check also that the freedonia.zip, _default.zip and _dictionary.zip files in the LEAP folder are dated 3/6/06.

Dear Charlie:



I did what you told. Installed the latest version (2006.05), deleted the folders and checked the dates of the zip files. Still the problem persist.




Thanks,



Edito

Hi Edito,



Sorry for the continuing problems. I have posted a new version (2006.007) that fixes a few problems (especially on Windows 98 PCs) but I am still not really clear why you are having this particular problem.



So far, I cannot reproduce it on my PC. Please can you send me specific steps to reproduce it?



Here are some basic steps to follow for fixing installaton problems....





First try these:



1. Quit LEAP

2. Delete the _work, _dictionary, _default and freedonia folders.

3. Run LEAP.



If this does not solve the problem, you can try a full reinstall. Do this:



1. Quit LEAP

2. Download a complete new version of LEAP from http://forums.seib.org/leap

2. Delete the _work, _dictionary, _default and freedonia folders.

3. Also delete the _default.zip, _dictionary.zip, freedonia.zip, leap.chm and leap.exe files in the LEAP propgram folder. (Sometimes I have seen situations where the LEAP installation program fails to overwrite these).

4. Run the LEAP installation program leap2006.exe.



Other general tips:

a) Make sure the LEAP program folder is NOT write-protected.

b) Make sure you are logged in with administrative rights on the PC where you are trying to install LEAP.



Best,



Charlie

Dear Charlie:



Did your instructions, still the problem persists.



Here is how I encountered the problem. I created a new area using "Area>New". I selected "from default data" under "create Area", typed the Area name and clicked OK. An error message "Failed to open data file: GridTable.DB, Empty Expression" appears and I am prompted to Abort LEAP.



I also have administrative rights on this PC. The Sytem Info is below for you to determined if this is a hardware problem.
