netrev.exe crashes when attempting to update BRD file (17.2)D

I have a design in Capture CIS that will netlist without issue.  When I try to update the PCB, pst files get created and then a windows dialog pops up stating that "nextrev.exe has stopped working".  When I try to do an Import>Logic from PCB editor, it completes with warnings/errors, and the log stops at "preparing to read pst files" with no additonal information.  I'm thinking that netrev is crashing at the same point there as well.

Obivously that's not a lof of information to go on, so any suggestion that might at least point me in the right direction as to why netrev crashes and the BRD won't update would be helpful.

    Delete the .pst files existing in outputs. File-save as and rename design. Make sure there are no illegal characters in the file path or name. This should help.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Is there a list of illegal characters documented somewhere?
