1361.0. "obbcomp fatal error during quickbuild" by EMNTAL::STADELMANN (Sepp @ZUO 760-2609) Fri Feb 07 1997 04:42

    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I have installed ObjectBroker 2.7-11.
    
    then I upgraded from NT3.51 Seerver to NT4.0 Server (build 1381)
    (Service Pack 2 not applied due to lots of bugs in it (uninstallation
    of Service Pack 4 done after detecting that; now at the moment getting
    a more bug free version of NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 from Microsoft), 
    	
    I tried to quickbuild the bank2 idl delivered with the examples
    when the following happens
    
    quickbuild bank.idl c build 
    
    IDL file is: bank.idl
    Option is: BUILD
    Language is:    c
    Building in current directory...

    *** Creating Client File ***
	obbcomp -lc -Qc bankClient.c  bank.udl bank.iml

    *** Creating Server File ***
	obbcomp -lc -Qs bankServer.c  bank.udl bank.iml

    *** Creating Server Dispatch File ***
	obbcomp -lc -d bankDispatch.c -nm  bank.udl bank.iml
    
    Nmake : fatal error U1077: 'obbcomp' : retrun code '0Xc0000005'
    Stop
All Done
    
    
    Error Message Box states:
    
    ObjectBroker Transport Window: obbcomp.exe - Application Error
    
    The instruction at "0x779f8bc7" referenced memory at "0x048b8001".
    The memory could not be "read".
    
    Click on <OK> to terminate the application
    Click on CANCEL to debug the application
    
    	<OK> gets me back to work ,,,
    
    Any idea, is NT Server 4.0 supportet ?

    And before you say, this guy is crazzy and tells a shit, this is simple
    not true what .-1 says. .....
    
    I have this problem at .-1 in a reproduceable fashion.
    
    To track the situation down ....
    
    I have remove ObjectBroker 2.7-11, rebooted, then installed
    Objectbroker, then rebooted aagain and now my Quickbuild works again.
    
    So be warned when you upgrade from NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 (Server)
    (not tested for Workstation)
    
    You will receive unpredictable crashes of obb components when you
    upgrade from NT 3.51 to NT4.0 (Server) without re-installing
    ObjectBroker 2.7-11 CLD.
    
    The NT Installation tests lots of bindings and then claims in a
    courious way regarding ObjectBroker; however you can proceed and all
    seems well, unless you do more tougth things later with ObjectBroker.
    
    Workaround: After an Upgrade from NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 (Server) you have
    to remove and reinstall ObjectBroker 2.7-11 CLD with all required
    reboots.
