Subj: Re: Reference Number 1997-3523 (Developer Studio crashes)
Hi Jack,
This is Miller from Alpha Developer Suupport. I think I know the
fix to your problem. Please try the following which works for many
similar VC4.0/Alpha problem:
Symptoms:
* The Debugger Call Stack window fails to display the call stack.
* The Debugger Variables Context combo box is empty.
* Access violations frequently occur when exiting the
debugger (especially on large projects).
* Access violations occasionally occur upon exiting the Developer
Studio without using the debugger.
These problems can be eliminated by copying the IMAGEHLP.DLL file
from the Visual C++ 4.0 CD-ROM to the Developer Studio installation
on your system.
To copy the file:
1. Open the BIN folder within your Developer Studio base folder.
The base folder's name is typically MSDEV.
2. Insert the Visual C++ 4.0 CD-ROM into your system's CD-ROM drive.
3. Open the REDIST folder within the MSDEV folder on the CD-ROM.
4. Drag and drop IMAGEHLP.DLL from the redist folder on the CD-ROM
to the BIN folder on your hard drive.
If the problem still persist, let us know immediately and we will
figure another way to help you.
P.S. Visual C++ 5.0 Alpha info is available on the web:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualc/
RISC platforms (Alpha processor only)
For new users:
Visual C++ 5.0 RISC Edition (part number 048-000124) is direct for $199. There
are no upgrades
available.
I think your problem will be fixed with the above instruction before you
decide to upgrade to VC5.0.
Regards,
Miller
