Question

I've an exe (app1) which is written in VB6, this is called from another VB6 application (app2). This was working all these years and recently started crashing. When I'm riunning app2 and where app1 called is crashing with the following error.

Problem signature:

This is crashing only in some machines, it's working in machines with same configuration. I've tried disabling DEP for this exe, that doesn't help too.

Was it helpful?

Solution

These shouldn't occur in a VB6 program unless it uses API calls in a cavalier manner. Such a program can run just fine until something in the data it works with causes it to fall over on one of these access violation errors.
