same thing happened to me...🙁
 
compile this under relase mode instead of debug. then try to redistribute it.

debug mode uses different system calls and dll's as release mode.

I will try this and post back soon.
 
same error. I am currently download VC 2005.net express with .net framework 2005, thats what u programmed this under right?
 
Program now runs.
I'll create a list of bugs/quirks.
1) Bug: Press 1 or 2. I press 'H'. Program goes into an endless loop.
2) Quirk: It allows numbers of negative zero to be entered and it treats it different than zero.
3) Bug: Press Y or N. I press 'H'. Program crashes.
4) Bug: Enter any number for feet, inches, etc. I press 'H'. Program crashes.
5) Bug: Enter 1e50 feet and 0 inches. Result is -2147483648 meters and 3.048e51 cm. What the heck does that mean?
6) Bug: Enter 1e999 feet. The program enters an endless loop.
7) Quirk: Usually, people only want one answer, such as 1.5 meters. They typically don't want 1 meter and 50 cm.
8) Quirk: It asks if I want to run THIS calculation again. I say yes, and it asks which calculation to run. I just answered that I want to run THIS calcuation, so why ask which one? Did you mean to ask if I wanted to run ANOTHER calculation?
9) Bug: 1 pound is 453.592 grams, NOT 453.597 grams.
10) Bug: 1 kg is 2 lb and 3.27396 oz, not 2 lb and 3.2736 oz.

There are probably more problems. But I'm done for now.
 
In canse anyone missed this... I posted it in Hot Deals

It'd be nice if you automatically converted smaller units into larger ones if the # of smaller went over the limit. For example, if I put in 15 feet and 74 inches, convert it to 21 feet and 2 inches. Not that difficult.

Thanks!

Okay, well...I'm not sure if I know how to solve the issues of entering characters instead of numbers putting the program into endless loops. As far as reporting "1.5 meters" goes, the spec specifically called to report it like I did. And I will go ahead and reword that last question now.

About that goofy number when you put in a giant number, I have NO idea, maybe because I'm using doubles...

I think that would be taken care of automatically when it's converted to metric.

I will ask my professor about the H issue.
 
Can you give me an example of the -0 bug? I tried both 0 and -0 for a few different things and it worked the same both ways.
