KB928365, Infragistics UltraWinGrid (Preset Manager), and "Fatal Execution Engine Error"

Question

I'm currently using Windows XP SP2 x86 Professional Edition and VS2005 SP1 Professional Edition. And today, I've just got KB928365 installed through Automatic Updates, fixing critical flaw in .NET Framework 2.0.

 

When I customized Infragistics UltraWinGrid (in "Manage Presets" menu), VS2005 suddenly crashed without warning! It didn't inform any information/message about this crash. The only information I could obtain were located in the Event Log (Application node, Source: .NET Runtime, Event ID: 1023) which said:

 

".NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.832 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A0592A2) (80131506)"

".NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.832 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2B8F82) (0)"

 

Before I got KB928365 installed, I had had no such error. Since I suspected the latest installed update (related to .NET Framework 2.0), I was trying to uninstall it then and the problem suddenly gone. There's no error; just like usual. Though, I'm not sure whether this is a bug in Infragistics UltraWinGrid or KB928365.

 

I also found related problems caused by KB928365, such as found here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1846038&SiteID=1

 

I hope there is an explanation about this. BTW, I post this here since I think it's related to Windows Forms Designer also, CMIIW.

 

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi there,

I am suffering from the same error. Actually it is quite serious since my Visual Studio .Net is starting up and instantly shutting down again. Other program's don't even bring up a dialog any more but deny to start at all.

I am also looking very much forward to a fix since right now I can't work at all - no IDE. It just happened to happen today, respectively yesterday afternoon. Seems to have to do with one of the latest hotfixes though I did not investigate it any further.

Hauke

Answer 2

Hi again,

Well, after removing all .net framework runtimes and reinstalling version 1.0 and 2.0 (I left out 3.0 for the moment though I deinstalled it), everything is running again.

Since I forgot my system specs before, here you go:

Windows XP Prof., 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Visual Studio 2005, v. 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)

I have automatic updates enabled so basically all hotfixes are installed.

Since I removed all .net runtimes and reinstalled just a few of them my current (after reinstallation) runtime is 2.0.50727 (this is NOT the version from the point of time when the problems occured).

Hauke

Answer 3

I ran into the same problem yesterday (http://www.bramz.org/2007/07/11/today-vs2005-died-badly/)

However, the first windows update I tried to uninstall was the one of KB936357, the microcode patch for the Intel Core 2 Duo.  That one already did the trick to bring back devenv.exe alive.  Reinstalling the same patch did not bring back the problem though. (http://www.bramz.org/2007/07/11/does-kb936357-patch-kill-vs2005/)

I too have the .NET security fix of KB928365 installed, but I did not need to uninstall it, nor anything of the .NET 2.0 framework.

So maybe the real problem has yet some other origin, although related to the last patch tuesday updates.

Cheers,
Bramz

Not sure if this will help but see: http://blogs.mgtechgroup.com/markc/archive/2007/07/14/Security-Update-for-Microsoft-.NET-Framework-2.0-KB928365-broke-MOSS.aspx

 

Answer 5

One of the developers is seeing this same issue.  It appears to fail if Intel's VTune 9.0 in installed.  Unisntall VTune and the problem goes away.  I will try to uninstall the KB936357 patch and see if VTune plays nice with VS2005.  I will keep you posted.

 

Thanks for the information.

Answer 6

KB936357 seems to have other problem. After applying KB936357 to Vista Ultimate Build 6000 (Japanese), the messagebox of regsvr32 loses any messages (blank messagebox appears).

FYI.

Answer 7

Well, removing either of the patches resolves the issue.  However, it appears that having KB928365 reinstalled reintroduces the problem.  KB936357 reinstalled alone works OK.

 

As if that wasn't enough, I see VTune came out with an upgrade so I will have to test that version with the patches as well.

Answer 8

We're having the exact same problem on XP SP2 and VS2005 SP1. Visual Studio always disappears either right after the solution loads, or right after a rebuild. Process 'devenv.exe' is still running in Task Manager but the GUI is invisible. An error will always be recorded in application event log:

 

.NET Runtime version 5.0.50727.832 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A0592A2) (80131506)

 

First instance of this problem was on 5/9/07. The odd thing is we have 4 completely identical developer machines. Hardware is identical, OS was installed from the same image... but this only occurs on one machine.

Hi,

 

Same problem here. You need to install Visual Studio 2005 hotfix 913384. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913384

 

From the KB:

 

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

•	An application is built by using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
•	The application runs in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
•	The application runs under a user account context.
•	No user profile is associated with the user account context.

In this scenario, the application may crash, or you may receive an access violation error message. If you debug the crash, you find an access violation in the mscorwks!SecurityConfig::GetCacheEntry function.

If you experience this problem in a Microsoft ASP.NET application, you receive error messages in the event log that are similar to the following:

Error message 1

Event ID : 1023
Raw Event ID : 1023
Record Nr. : 14
Category : None
Source : .NET Runtime
Message : NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A05E2B3) (80131506)

Error message 2

Event ID : 1000
Raw Event ID : 1000
Record Nr. : 15
Category : None
Source : .NET Runtime 2.0
Error Reporting Type : Error
Message : Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.1830, stamp 42435be1, faulting module mscorwks.dll, version 2.0.50727.42, stamp 4333e7ec, debug? 0, fault address 0x000e9f96.

Notes

•	Error message 2 immediately follows error message 1.
•	This problem occurs with ASP.NET 2.0 applications. This problem may occur with other types of applications that run under non-interactive accounts, such as Windows services.

Additionally, in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you may be prompted for authentication when you connect to the Site Usage Report page of a Web site to view the usage data for that Web site. Then, you may recieve the following error message:

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied

The following event is logged in the event log:

Event ID : 1023
Raw Event ID : 1023
Record Nr. : 14
Category : None
Source : .NET Runtime
Message : NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A05E2B3) (80131506)

Hi,

 

thanks for the info.

 

I also found that the same hotfix is also published (downloadable) in connect.microsoft.com under "Visual Studio and .NET Framework" connection.

 

However, I've been trying it so far and still experiencing the same problem. No idea. It seems MS still doesn't know exactly the source of the problem.

 

Maybe this will be fixed in .NET Framework 2.0 SP1. But still, no idea.

Answer 11

Finally, I found that this has something to do with my user profile. Though, not sure which part of it caused the trouble.

 

As the solution, I simply created a new user profile (or simply new user) and delete one I was previously using. Then, the error I mentioned before doesn't occur anymore.

 

Hope this helps.
