Re: Visual Studio 2008

Hi Dimitris,

Probably a bit confusing but a meant a service pack for
Visual Studio 2008 itself;

About the problems...

I basically develop still on XP but mirror my develop environment
on Win7 so I can easily see the difference.

My application is complex, uses large buffers (32K), calls functions
in ddl's hundreds of times, loads/decrypt/runs many encrypted gc
utilities and does this without any issues on XP (unless I introduce
errors myself of course).

On win7 the same sources work very unpredictable, hangs without any
notification (Gui4Cli error message) at arbitrary places.
And the most weird thing is that this depends on the size of the
scripts and the file path from where it runs.

E.g. When I have this problem on path x and not on path y, then
when I simply add a comment to the script (changing the file size),
it happens that it runs on path x but hangs at another arbitrary
place at path y. I test it at seven different install paths and
with a lot of patience I occasionally can "trim" the whole stuff
so it runs on all paths without noticeable issues.

I started testing on win7 about 6 months ago and tried almost
everything to find out what's wrong, like changing the order and
things in the the scripts of which I thought they could be critical.

For XP it all doesn't matter, it always act the same.

I still have the impression there's an issue on win7 with loading
the scripts into memory and perhaps with the stack?

I remember I had highly comparable behaviour on XP a few years ago
but that was because I used "Include" to include a part of the script
from within a self-contained executable. The part to incuded was
also a resource in the executabe. After I added the part to the
main script, the problem was solved.
