eVC3 and eVC4 bomb when loading projects

I'm trying to get eVC and eVC4 working on my main Win2K box. (Everything works fine on another machine).

The IDEs each start properly. However, when I open any workspace, I get the following:

eVC4: Instruction at "0x780104ac" referenced memory at "0x0000000". Opening the debugger gets "Unhandled exception in Evc.exe (MSVCRT.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation"

eVC3:Instruction at "0x510b2daa" referenced memory "0x00000004". Opening the debugger gets "UNhandled exception in EVC.EXE (DEVBLD,PKG): 0xC0000005: Access Violation".

I tried doing a fresh install of eVC3, eVC4 SP4 and all the SDKs. When that did not help, I did a reinstall of VC6 SP5 as well. It made no difference.

Any ideas

    No progress yet. I'm still very interested in finding a solution.

    Hi, is there likely to be any progress on this. I can't use EVC at all which is basically stopping any work.

    Thanks

    Just answering for a record. I had the same problem and solved it by localized the issue in Platform Manager - I've noticed that this error was caused by incorrect name in:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Tools\Platform Manager\{F384D888-F9AA-11D1-BB9E-00A0C9C9CCEE}

    Make sure that none of the keys have not empty "(default)" values. If one of them has - just delete it (don't forget to backup it before).

    Good suggestion!

    I found two suspect keys. A blank one, installed by ASprite CE, and one for an SDK that is no longer installed. I deleted both.

    I can now open projects in eVC3 and eVC4. Hooray!

    Thank you!
