I'm using Stata 12, Mlwin 2.28, and the current version of -runmlwin-. I'm trying to run a multivariate logit model with 2 binary outcomes, two/three levels (individuals nested in 28 countries plus the outcome level), and about 450,000 individuals. When I run my syntax, Mlwin gives me the error messages "Unhandled exception", "Error detected by MLN: error while obeying batch file [cryptic path] at line number 37: STAR [two blank lines] Üê[box]."
Do you have any idea what the problem could be? I don't (and I am rather sure that this very model used to run a couple of weeks ago and I haven't changed the do-file in the meantime).
What I did try was to reduce the number of cases. I don't get the error message when I try to run the model with about 200,000 individuals.
Also, I tried looking at line number 37 to find out what was wrong there via the viewmacro option, but that one looks alright to me:
