HELP: Visual C++ 6 devdbg.pkg on Windows 7 crashing


andwan0

Recommended Posts

I used to have a HP Core2Duo i2 desktop, with native Windows 7 SP1 and Visual C++ 6 running fine.


Now I got a Dell XPS 8700 i7 desktop, SSD, with native Windows 7 SP1 and Visual C++ 6 keeps on crashing everytime I load up a workspace/project.


devdbg.pkg exception, access violation


My work colleagues tell me their Visual C++ 6 runs fine on their Windows 7.


Does anyone have a clue why a Dell XPS 8700 i7 desktop (SSD) running native Win7SP1 would keep on crashing everytime I load up a workspace/project in Visual C++ 6 (latest service packs). But on my old PC (HP Core2Duo i2) Win7SP1, it runs fine?

Currently it's working.

 

I uninstalled and installed it on the HDD (D:\) rather than SDD (C:\).

It successfully loaded a workspace/project.

Sometimes it crashes with devncb.pkg (I recognise NCB means classview information). I usually delete the *.ncb so it generates a clean one.

 

Later sometimes is crashes with the devdbg.pkg violation again.

 

I decided to install Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 7.

 

Now Visual C 6 seems to be more stable.

Fingers crossed it will be like this for a very very long time. :D

 

 

 

Thanks for your link. It made me install Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 7.

 

Help me out here - what does this mean?

"native Windows 7 SP1"

"OEM Pre-installed"? :unsure:

This may/may not be relevant, but - x86 or x64 version?

native = installed as a host OS on machine... rather than guest OS in a VM

lol

 

OEM pre-installed? did I write that???

 

x64 means 64-bit... whereas x86 means 8086 intel instruction set architecture... bit misleading....

1 - Native not=Host. Made no sense to me, so I asked (a clarification question).

2 - No, you did not, hence the "?" at the end (a question).

3 - 32-bit as opposed to 64-bit (obvious question, since that's the Windows 7 platforms as-specified).

Weird how MS says the same thing, so, misleading?

Aside from your misunderstanding (all questions, not statements) and thinking I was somehow attacking you...

 

Glad you got it working. ;)
