I distributed the November Microsoft Windows Security Patches Wednesday night and now have
eight Windows 2000 systems where VisualDSP++ 3.0 gives an exception message "Unable to
open/parse architecture definition file.  At least one name is required at this location"
immediately on startup.  Un-installing the patches did not help.  Has anyone encountered and
resolved this problem?

George,

Have you found a resolution to your problem? I seem to have developed the same symptom on one
of two pc's we have that runs VisualDSP++ 3.0. As far as I know, my problem is not associated
with the installation of any software or patches. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VDSP++ and
the error still persists. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Terry Litinas

No resolution at this time.  Our apps guy is going to do a reinstall.
That has been his resolution to prior problems.
 
It is interesting that we also had problems with our old Citrix client
on about 3% of our machines after that series of updates.  Seemed to be
a user profile issue, but renaming the profile to get a new one did not
help.  Neither did an uninstall/reinstall.  Ultimately found after we
made a good connection with the RDP client, the Citrix client would work
again.

I talked to ADI tech support and they sent me a new ArchDef.xml file that
took care of the problem. Their explanation was that "We have discovered an
incompatibility issue with MSXML 4.0 sp2." I replaced the existing file in
the C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\VisualDSP\System\ArchDef folder with the
new one and all is well. I am attaching the file from ADI but I'm not sure
whether it will get through to the group or not. If not, and anyone needs it
email me directly and I will send the file.
