Exception error when closing EA...

[Stevebo]

Every time I exit EA I get an exception error window.

It reads:

EA.exe  The exception unknown sofware exception at 0xc0020001 occurred in the application at location 0x7c812a5b.

It started several versions ago. I tried completely uninstalling the app and have installed several versions since but it shows up every time I close the application.

Some questions...

Are you running .Net 2.0 or later? [Or, do you have XP SP-2 or later as your OS?]

Also, do you have any other code that runs with EA? This could be an installed add-in, an automation client, or even a profile or MDG Technology that loads with EA. [Note that EA comes with several 'internal' MDG Technologies that load at startup. I am not referring to these, but to any that you might have added.]

The fault itself is probably an unhandled resource reference; this could be caused by .Net finalizing an unmanaged piece of code before the resources have been properly released. A common situation is a reference to a string value by unmanaged code, when the target has been finalized by an 'owning' .Net thread. [There are other causes too; this error appears to be one of several catch-all fault codes.]

If any of the above questions turns up a suspect, try removing the offending component. If that cures the problem, report the bug to the source of the component.

If not, please let Sparx know about this with a bug report. Include everything you can think of about your software configuration. Use the Report a Bug link below the Support link near the bottom of any forum page.

Also, the first few builds of Screen Architect seemed to cause an EA error on exit very similar to this.
