V16.0 RC Crashes when creating eapx file

[Sunshine]

Not that I'm promoting continuing with eapx files in V16.0 but has anyone tried creating an eapx file? Reason I ask is that for me it crashes EA V16RC so I reported as a bug and Sparx Systems say they can't reproduce and claim they don't have an option to create an eapx file in V16RC.

I tried to create a .eapx file on my machine, and I can create a .eapx file without any error. It depends on a machine if EA allows creating .eapx file. If a machine has Access Runtime (MS Office with Access automatically installs the runtime, or we can install the runtime separately), EA 16 RC 64bit offers .eapx extension while creating a new file. If not, or on Linux or macOS, we can't.

Some Add-In might cause the crash, so please disable all Add-Ins if you enable them.

I can create an EAPx file with the 32 bits version of EA16RC, but it crashes with the 64 bits version.
Reopening the EAPx file after the crash shows that it had been successfully created.

I reported this bug on my first tests with build 1600: https://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,46334.msg271217.html#msg271217

Thanks Guillaume you have the same bug I've experience with 64-bit version.
Takeshi thanks for those comments too. Don't have any add-ins at all. Was running on Windows 11 Pro and have a 32bit version of V15.2 also installed.
Had a look at the event log and found this error
