Comment on Screencast: Static link to the C-Runtime to prevent vcredist and overcome “Application configuration” problems by jkalmbach

Hi Al!

I have explaint this about 3000 times via words… then I got about 2000 responses that it does not work or they cannot find it… the I responded again, that you should *look* exactly what I have written… After about 1000 responses again, I made the 2 min screencast….

Maybe my words are not able to express, what screencasts can

Why post a screencast when you could explain it in words? Words are a lot easier to use!

Comment on Unhandled exceptions in VC8 and above… for x86 and x64 by jkalmbach

First of all, thanks for posting the solution. One question is if this function is invoked in a dll which is loaded and free dynamically, the application may crash because the dummy funciton address becomes invalid.

I tried write the original address back when the dll is detached from the main app process. It seems it works but not fully tested cross platform.

Could you please shed light on how to solve it?

Thanks
hs

very nice! I personally discovered your software about 1 year ago, and was using it in my several projects, and found that it really helps! But I always wondering why you didn’t use any VCS to manage the source code and release. Now finally, lol

btw, is there any update in Codeplex since RC9?

thanks again for your work, anyway~

Hi,
Thanks for this discussion, it is very useful.

This works for my 32 bit program however I have an issue with 64 bit program.
My program loads MbCustom.dll (32 bit version for 32 bit program & 64 bit version for 64 bit program), for 64 bit version when the dll is loaded
I see access violation in the debugger output and MbCustom.dll will unload. If I disable the call to PreventSetUnhandledExceptionFilter()
then I don’t see this issue and MbCustom.dll loads fine.

Enabling the loader logs, I see following (have copied portion that will be useful)

when it is working fine…

Thank you very much for the tip about manually correcting the version in the manifest files. I never would have guessed that they’d ship a bogus manifest with the DLLs.

Setting version=”9.0.21022.8″ worked perfectly for me.

Thx 4 the quick reply. I have it working on VS 2010 after a recompile. But VS 2005 is tough. Your code is .net 3.5 and I needed to rewrite it to 2.0 However, now I’m getting a cast exception I probably added a bug somewhere. If anyone has this running on VS 2005 - any feedback would be helpful. I need to get some other work done…
