Exiting process

[koumodaki]

I have a application that does some computations based on inputs from user, prints the results of the calcutaions in a file and exits. I am using ExitProcess() for exiting from the application. But while closing the application I get a error "The instruction at "0x73e6827a" referenced at "0x00157479c". The memory could not be read" . When I use TerminateProcess() I dont get the error message eventhough TerminateProcess() is not a recommeneded method for exiting process. Why does this happen?

What happens if you send WM_CLOSE to that program?

Is it a console app or a GUI app? You shouldn't have to call ExitProcess and definitely shouldn't have to use TerminateProcess. Some info: Terminating a Process[^]

The difference b/w ExitProcess and TerminateProcess is ExitProcess will send DETACH message to all the loaded dll where TerminateProcess won't. So the error may occured on unloading some dll loaded by ur application.
