Okay folks...I'm stumped.

When compiling my project (doesn't matter which one) during the "writing
exe" step, VB itself just shuts off.  No error messages, no nothing.  An
untrapped GPF would be my guess.  I've disabled all add-ins, run registry
cleaners, changed from native code to p-code, it makes no difference.  I've
tried various projects including from scratch projects, it literally makes
no difference.  I have SP6 with the common control updates, running on XP
SP3.  No updates were applied between last night (when I could compile
successfully) and this afternoon.  I tried restarting the computer, no luck.
The only thing I've yet to do is reinstall VB6 itself.

Any advice?  Anyone ever heard of something like this?

Thanks!

- Kev

It did not.  But I did not uninstall first.  That's the next step.

I remember, having these issues some years ago -
what helped finally was, to define a new empty
project, define new empty copies of all code-
modules and copy only the "Text" over into the
new ones (and of course replicate all your
other projects "environmental settings").

Thank god, mine was only a Dll-Project with
ca. 10 modules - but it was compiling again
after that.
Don't know what was causing that - maybe some
"dead" *.Obj-Files hanging around somewhere
in a hidden Temp-Dir or something like that.

You sir are a steely eyed missle man!!

That did it.  I wiped out the temp folder and it all worked again.  Thank
you, I didn't even think about clearing the temp folder.  So obvious!!

Hi
Would you share the file location just for the note book, you never know
when this could be useful.

Which file location?  The temp folder?

C:\Documents and Settings\<logon name>\Local Settings\Temp

  This is probably not much help, but if a VB repair
doesn't work you might try running Filemon to see
what's happening at that point.
