Symptom
When trying to start PowerBuilder, it is crashing immediately. PowerBuilder is trying to reopen the last workspace on startup.
Environment
PowerBuilder
Reproducing the Issue
Try to open a corrupt workspace in PowerBuilder, and PowerBuilder will shut down immediately.
Cause
Corruption of an object within the last workspace: when starting PowerBuilder, it tries to load the last workspace causing the crash.
Solution
To start PowerBuilder without it loading the last workspace, change the ReopenWorkspace=1 property to ReopenWorkspace=0 in the pb.ini under the [PB] section.
To avoid this issue, you can also set this same property in the PowerBuilder IDE. Go to Tools -> System Options -> Workspaces and uncheck the 'Reopen Workspace on startup'.
