app closes, does not process file

I've got an 18 kb MPD file that LPub refuses to open. Whenever I try to open the file in LPub, the application just spins its wheels for a few seconds, and then closes, without any kind of error message. 

This same file works perfectly fine in LDView, FWIW... 

Thanks, 
Franklin

Would you be willing to post the file so we can see if we can replicate the problem?

Thanks,

I can open it okay in LPub3D, so perhaps it is something specific to LPub?

From just casting my eye over the file, line 300 does look a bit suspect, perhaps missing a leading //? Perhaps that is the cause of the hang?

I am also not getting any errors.

Do you have latest version installed:

Doesn't look like it.  >__< 
When I click on "Check for updates" it just flashes a pop-up which then disappears. 

Since my version will not update itself, do I just download one of those files you linked? 
Where is the "install" file, please?

Progress, of a sorts... 
The app loads my file, now, but I get a couple of error messages with every page. 
(What is Excluded Parts any way? If it's in the LDraw library, I'm using it!)

Addendum: 
The app does not recognize 3023b as a legit part, if this helps diagnose the problem...

I think that is a "feature" of LPub3D having its own copy of complete.zip. The following might resolve the 3023b absent part issue (on the rash assumption you are using Windows):

  1. In Windows explorer, navigate to %APPDATA%\..\local\lpub3d software\lpub3d\libraries
  2. Rename complete.zip to something like old_complete.zip
  3. In Windows explorer, navigate to %LDRAWDIR%. Hopefully it will take you to the directory something like C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw
  4. Copy complete.zip from this folder
  5. Navigate back to %APPDATA%\..\local\lpub3d software\lpub3d\libraries
  6. Paste the copied complete.zip into the directory
  7. Fire up Lpub3D

If that doesn't resolve the issue, delete the copied complete.zip from %APPDATA%\..\local\lpub3d software\lpub3d\libraries and rename old_complete.zip back to complete.zip

Only weird thing i noticed is content in-between 0 NOFILE and the next 0 FILE, maybe lpub doesn't like that?
