When we were trying to download our program this came up.

An invalid argument was encountered. When i clicked ok it this window opened

Microsoft visual c++ runtime library
Program:...Files\robotics academy\robotc for mindstorms\robotc.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.

What does this mean?? and how would i contact the support team?

Thanks

does this happen repeatedly , or just once, try reinstalling microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2005 you can get this from their website.

It happens every time i tried to download the program

I reinstaled it and it sill does the same thing.

the invalid argument is probably your problem, prooof read your code and try compiling w/o downloading

Heres my program. If someone could figure it out it would be greatly appericeated.

Some adjustment in the code.

I tried your code out it seems fine.


If I read this right, RobotC is crashing after the dialog box? If this is true then its definitely not a code problem.

You could try one of the sample programs and see if that crashes too (I'd guess that it will).
You could try to compile only (F7) to see if its in the compiler or the NXT comms.
You could try to use the NXT link setup menu to connect to the NXT.

This might help to narrow down what is causing the problem, but probably won't fix anything.

I think its something funny on your setup. Is it possible to try installing RobotC on another computer. Or totally uninstall/reinstall RobotC on your existing computer.

nvm guys I got it working. I don't know I did but it just eventually worked after about 50 tries. I'll keep up do date as much as possible with any more problems.
