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...

[Sladien]

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.

[Diapolo]

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

[luke-jr]

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

[laanwj]

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.
