Scriptmaster Plug-in crashes FMP when 'Configure' button used in Prefs Panel

[brian rich]

We generated a plug-in for use with our FMP11 databases to help users store hyperlinks in Filemaker to documents on our networked File server.  This was generated using Scriptmaster 4.132 and has worked satisfactorily for over two years. We register the plug-in (called SelectFile) using the SelectFileRegister(key;company) function that is added to the plug-in by Scriptmaster when it is created. With that plug-in installed, it is possible to check the licence key registration by going to Preferences, selecting the Plug-ins tab, clicking on the plug-in and then clicking the Configure button.

 

We've downloaded the new version of Scriptmaster (v4.203) and rebuilt the plug-in.  The new plug-in generates a different Licence key to the old plug-in so we modified the key value in the SelectFileRegister() function to match. This appears to work successfully when we run a script to set the key value; however if we subsequently use the Configure button in the Preferences dialog Filemaker immediately crashes with no error messages from either Filemaker or Windows -  it simply vanishes and the computer appears otherwise functional.  This doesn't happen until after we run the SelectFileRegister() step; prior to that, the configure button works as normal and shows the plug-in as unregistered. Put the old plug-in back and everything works as expected.

 

Without a clear understanding of what is going on, I don't want to deploy the new plug-in, Can anyone help?

 

I'm using FMP11 Advanced 11.0v3, running Windows 7 Profession SP1, with Java version 7 update 25.

 

If it matters, the test file is hosted on FMP11 Advanced (on a Windows Server)

 

Thanks
