FIX: Removing Subproject Causes Page Fault

4.00    | 4.00

The information in this article applies to:

• The development environment included with: Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Removing a subproject (on the Build menu, click Configurations, and then click Remove), may cause a page fault in Developer Studio.

Under Windows 95, the error message is:

   This program has performed an illegal operation
   and will be shut down.

   clicking the details button indicates:

   MSDEV caused an invalid page fault in
   module MSVCCLS.PKG at 0137:512d1268.

   The instruction at "0x512d1268" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
   The memory could not be "read".

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.1.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: After you dismiss the error dialogs, MSDEV may still be running in the background with some project files locked. Under Windows 95, you need to reboot the computer to remove the process and unlock the files. Under Windows NT, you may be able to terminate the process and therefore unlock the files by using Pview.exe.
