Question:
A Glbstub error occurs when installing Reporting to the MAX including Point of Sale and Non-profit Versions
Answer:
Problem
When installing a Reporting to the MAX Windows product, the
installation fails with an error referring to the CMSOBJ or
GLBSSTUB file. The exact message can vary but will be
similar to ‘an error has occurred in your application’
OR ‘your application has caused a General Protection
Fault.’ In some cases, a subsequent error states ‘GLBSSTUB
caused a stack fault in module CMSSETUP.EXE. GLBSSTUB will
close.’
Cause
This is caused by another instance of NTVDM running at
the same time as the installation. The WYSE installation
routine mistakes the other NTVDM for its own and tries to
use it instead of launching its own instance of NTVDM. This
encroaches on the memory space of the other NTVDM and causes
the errors.
Resolution
First try rebooting the computer and use TASK MANAGER to
verify that no other instances of NTVDM are running. Then
retry the installation. If it doesn’t solve the problem,
use Windows Explorer to explore the Reporting to the MAX CD and
create a shortcut on the desktop that directly launches the
installation executable for the application. Set the
properties of the shortcut to enable RUN IN SEPARATE MEMORY
SPACE. Then use the shortcut to launch the installation.
Following is a list of the installation executables for the
different products. (If the drive letter for the CDROM is
different than D:, substitute the drive letter for the CDROM
drive in place of D: in these examples.)
