DUMP DATA, need help with obscure crash

Net Framework versions are not inclusive, such as Service Packs are. An application can be written for any Framework level. Having only the highest Framework installed (3.0) means that applications written for 1.1 and 2.0 will likely not work. The intention is to add the .NET Frameworks when released.

You see similar issues with the runtimes for VBasic.

 

OK...

My RAM is verified to be fine, Windows Memory Diagnostic with Extended "T" ran all weekend long and showed no errors. That wasn't on purpose, it just took so long that I had to leave and forgot to come back and power off my system.

NET Framework is 2.0.

Happens on MS SQL Server 2005 Standard with SP1.
Happens on MS SQL Server 2000 SP3 & SP4.

After a reboot, this is the first crash that occurs. Later crashes after the first crash show up in different places. But this seems to be the initial one that makes the system go haywire after that...

After looking at this, let me know any additional logs or info that I should provide.

Not much appearent there!

Don't believe it is SQL in 2 different versions. At least less likely.

What versions of Net Framework do you have installed?

It is a hard call but if you have 1 and 2 then I would uninstall both and reinstall just ver 1 if that does not work uninstall 1 and then install ver 2 if not that then the newest ver is ver 3. Do that one.

As a wise and wordy man once said. You should have all the versions for full compatability. DUH!

But the procedure above will allow us to see if it is in fact a version of Net Framework that is causing the problem.

And who cares if you don't have any 1 or 2 or all 3 versions of Net Framework if it cures the problem. And dosen't cause others!!!

The log is complaining this time of Heap Corruption, and identifying MSVCRT.DLL as being in the middle of this.

Please see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190536
And the libraries: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197298/

 

The msvcrt.dll I'm using is version 7.0.2600.2180.
It is in my C:\Windows\System32 directory, Size = 335KB, Date Modified 8/4/2004 7:00 AM

The link you led me to says that this bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. I have Service Pack 6.

Is any of this info leading to a clue?

 

Yes I saw that also but I beleive it is arriving there indirectly as he has no other Apps complaining.

But I totally agree it is well in line to update these.

Sfairbanks git-er-done!

Opps Sfairbanks

We crossed in the ether!

Install the Runtimes, won't hurt may help!

Mike

 

After you do that then get on my Net Framework process.

I repeat I have had this conflict with Net framework before.

If I am wrong it will make some so happy and they really, really, really need it!

I will be happy only if you get it fixed no matter who gives the answer.

That is the only reason I am here, not to do it all but to do my part!

Good luck

Mike

 

The note I first linked suggested that the Heap Manager had been fixed for Service packs 3 and upward (Service Packs are always cumulative).

However, the issue then is in the redistributables, not Visual Studio itself. The suggestion was that the program be packaged with updated redistributables, and I provided the second link.

One common problem is that the user may have five or six or more copies of msvcrt.dll on their system. The one you cited, for example, is from Service Pack 2 of XP.

If you do not include the redistributables, XP is going to have to search for them based on the user's environmental variable PATH. I would be surprised if the PATH statement was identical on alll machines.

This is at least one reason for the redistributables -- the first place checked will be the directory in which the application is installed, no matter what PATH says.

Your last debug log clearly stated the issue was Heap Corruption:

The reference to MSVCRT.DLL later in the log can be a coincidence. Once the heap is corrupted everything in the DUMP log becomes suspect. But controlling the versioning of MSVCRT.DLL strikes me as at least one reasonable approach to take based on your last debug log.

Since this is not a .NET application, I am indifferent what choice you make about the .NET frameworks. They play no role in your issue whatsoever.

 

Thank you!

Thank you all for your advice. I just wanted to update you on the outcome...

You were right about the heap corruption. This was the link that helped me detect where it was getting corrupted.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z8h19c37(VS.80).aspx

I used the code in the Example in the main application, and extra memory leak information that was dumped help steer me to the heap corruption problem.

Learned a lot of useful information here, thanks again!

 

A nice job done by yourself.

Best regards,
Bill

 

Hi sfairbanks

Great!

Been away last day and most of today.

Great job.
