Hello,

PB 11.5, Win 7 SP1

The application works fine elsewhere.   Only in one particular machine, this application crashes, with the following message

Windows (Application Log) contains the following.

Faulting application name: elifa3.exe, version: 3.62.1058.1, time stamp: 0x49792bc7
Faulting module name: PBVM115.dll, version: 11.5.0.2506, time stamp: 0x489933e1
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0013a212
Faulting process id: 0x808
Faulting application start time: 0x01d7b9ad29dbb948
Faulting application path: E:\Elifa3Exe\elifa3.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\PBVM115.dll
Report Id: 67a15a6f-25a0-11ec-aee2-1c1b0db09b62
**************************************************

1.  When run from a network directory, it works fine.
2.  When run from source code, (installed PB 11.5, copied all PBLs in a local directory of that machine), it works fine.
3.  When run from the compiled exe, the above message appears.
4.  Tried compiling the code in that machine, run that newly created exe, then also the same above error message.
5.  If we try few times (may be around 50 times or above), we may be lucky that the program runs.   And this no of try varies every time.  

What could be the reason for this crash, when the same program runs successfully when run from a networked (mapped) drive ?   How to find out the issue ?

Happiness Always

Failing hard disk?

Does the eventviewer show any other errors when the crash happens?

true,

Not finding the pbvm...dll usually means it cannot find the dll on the PATH, are you using a runtime installer MSI or simply point to a folder where the dll's are?

Make sure the folder with the runtime DLL's is in the enviroment variable of PATH. You can also try using a shortcut in which the initial folder points to that directory.

regards.

This error started emerging after a clean (format &) install of Win 7. As usual we installed the PB 11.5 runtime, which used to work without any issues. Only in this system we got this error. Strange is that if we try again and again (25-50 times) the application works !!! Works till we logout of the application.

With the same error, we installed PB 11.5 in that machine and checked for errors by running the source. No issues, everything was perfect. Runtime folder is there in PATH environment.



Nevertheless I've asked them to (fresh) install Windows again.

Make sure c++ runtime and .net framework runtime is not omitted. And alt.. dll and msvc or mscv..dll are there. I can't remember the exact names right now
