error cvirte 7.1

[judyh]

Hi guys,

We've had the customer uninstall, manually remove all CVI files, and reinstall and he's still seeing the error.  I'm going to send him a new burn to see if that clears it up.  I've also had him check the DEP and he has it to the minimal setting.

Judy -

I would consider giving the customer a debug build, you can rename the executable to eliminate the "dbg" suffix.  Then, when the error occurs, if it's in the developer written CVI code, the customer should see a popup identifying the error and giving a module and line number reference to the origin.

As far as VirtualAlloc, I do know the heap allocation methods have undergone change / revision over the years - I recall we had an allocation of some kind that failed on XP Pro so I found sample Win32 code that used a LocalHeapAlloc of some kind instead of GlobalHeapAlloc I think it was and the problem went away.

This may be as simple as the application overflowing the buffer allocated by VirtualAlloc.
