I am getting ExecutionEngineException during execution of application. This sometimes happens while closing the application. Tried with windbg tool but did not find anything useful. Application uses both managed and unmanaged code. Tried googling but i couldnt get breakthrough. It would be greatly helpful if someone give expert idea on this investigation.

Thanks for the update. Immm... Need to find a way.

Did you get any update on this?

Thank you for msdn cake !!. I will check that and let you know how it tastes. :)

Ok lets assume that i am getting five printers as follows 1. ABC 2. XYZ 3. TestPrinter1 4. TestPrinter2 5. TestPrinter3 In the above list some of them are network printers and how do i find newtwork printers programatically in VBA?

Even i am concerned about that, but i was asked to find other possible options to make the dll to refer its dependent dlls. I am interested to know whether it can be achieved via config file.

Oh really great!. your input much appreciated. I have another question, Can we use the configfile for a dll to locate its dependent assembly? Or its only applicable for exe?

Thanks for the update. I got the list of printers using http://www.cpearson.com/excel/GetPrinters.aspx[^] But i need to find network and local printers and classify them different groups. How to find local and network printers from the list?

Lets us take an eg., I have MyApp.exe, Test1.dll,Test2.dll,Test3.dll. MyApp.exe depends/uses Test1.dll Test1.dll depends/uses Test2.dll, Test3.dll If i am installing all binaries to same directory say D:\TestAppln\ then my application will work perfectly. But due to some issues i need to move Test1.dll to programfiles sub-directory always(e.g, C:\program files\MyCompany) irrespective of installation. My application may reside in any directory. Since Test1.dll depends on Test2.dll and Test3.dll, i need to copy them from application folder to Test1.dll's folder i'e (e.g, C:\program files\MyCompany). Otherwise Test1.dll will not load. So my question is how to make Test1.dll to refer its dependant dll from application folder. I am looking for options other than GAC.

we are developing an application which accesses local and network printers. How to read list of available printers in a machine and how classify them as local and network printers.

I am not sure whether i have confused. Lets put that again, during deployment of my application i need install a particular dll to program files sub directory (eg. C:\program files\test). But my application will be in different directory. Since the dll Installed away from application directory and it uses/references many dlls present in application directory. How do i make that dll to pick dependent dlls from application directory. I dont want to move to GAC. Hope its clear.

I am developing an c# application and it uses many .net assemblies. For some reason i need to move a dll to program files folder and that dll depends on many other assembly present in the application folder and this makes me to copy all dependent dlls to programfiles folder. This will cause duplication of dll in both application and programfiles directory. I know that moving dependent assembly to GAC will resolve this issue but i shound not put many assembly in GAC. So please suggest a way to make .Net dll to reference its dependent dlls.

Thanks for your help. I found a soultion to this problem.

#if _MSC_VER <=1200
namespace std
{
using ::abort;
}
#endif

This way we can make 'std' namespace to refer global abort(). It doesn't require to modify 3rd party.

Ok. Sorry for not explaining that the code piece 'std::abort()' is part of third party and we cannot modify it.

Thanks. Yes, That's right! we are slowly moving to VS2010. But at this point of time we are in a situation to use

std::abort();

in both VC6 and VS2010. This compiles well in VS2010 but my concern is why its not in VC6. Any idea would be helpful.

Even after including cstdlib, I am seeing the same error.

In VC6 when I use

std::abort();

I am geting an error "error C2039: 'abort' : is not a member of 'std'". But it compiles well in VS2010. I am seeing the definition of abort in both version of stdlib.h. What is the problem?

Hi, Is there a way to print file inclusion stack/order in VC++6.0. In VC10, we can print file inclusion stack in debug window using /showIncludes compiler switch. But same switch is not recognized in VC6.
