As stated in the subject, I ended up finding the solution here:

Running Windows 10 x64, Xilinx ISE 14.7
Pasted below for posterity
------------------
For everyone trying to use Xilinx ISE 14.5 in Windows 8 x64.
Rename libPortability.dll to libPortability.dll.orig, and copy libPortabilityNOSH.dll to libPortability.dll.
Do this in:
C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64
C:\Xilinx\14.5\ISE_DS\common\lib\nt64 (copy dll from first location)
This turns off SmartHeap.
This will fix ISE and iMPACT crashes on file dialogs.
------------------
This worked for me! I didn't have the "ISE_DS" folder in my Labtools installation. I made changes only in the folder "Xilinx\14.7\LabTools\LabTools\lib\nt64. Changed libPortability.dll to libPortability.dll.orig, and deleted the "NOSH" out of "libPortabilityNOSH.dll".
ReplyDeleteThis solved my issue of iMPACT closing when I went to select the configuration file upon project opening. Hopefully this helps someone else, too.
