Failed to load resources

[Adam Benson]

Hi,

I have seen a lot of different threads about this error in the new groups,
but never came across anything that pointed to an obvious solution.

6(!) instances of our app on a customer site just stopped working with the
error box :

"Setup Error

Failed to load resource from resource file
Please check your Setup"

Click on OK and it dies and you can restart. We have 2 instances of the app
(plus other apps) running per machine. I don't know whether the apps failed
in pairs, or 6 different machines had problems. Our guy on site got me a
program dump (when the message box was up) and I had a look in windbg but
can't honestly see anything obvious. Can anyone suggest where to look? This
doesn't seem to happen very often but when it does the impact is high.

TVMIA,

Adam.

Thanks for the response, Martin, but I don't think that's it.

This is a problem our app hits after running fine for days at a time. From
what I've seen it's some other error that the framework doesn't report
correctly and so you get the message box. As I said, I have dumps of the app
in this state, on site, but am not really sure what to examine in Windbg.

Cheers,

Adam.

Hmmm,

I think standard question and possibility to test is.
Are you using some API calls?

Are you using Application.DoEvents()?

Hello,

I would suggest
http://www.memprofiler.com/
to make a check for memory leaks in your project.

If there are, you have to go worry a little more at disposing, unlink events
and null setting of references, I guess.

All the best,

For what it's worth I can reproduce it :

Included code will produce this error on .NET 1.1 if you run the release
build and
1) Select "Start in its own thread"
2) Click on "Memory failure"
2a) Optionally, deselect "Start in its own thread"
3) Click on "Stack overflow"

So out on-site problem could be linked to OutOfMemoryException followed by
StackOverflowException.

Cheers,

Adam
