PInvokeStackImbalance was detected

I am trying to create a smartdocument using Office 2003 professional edition and implementing the same on VS.NET 2005 edition. As soon as I load the winword.exe(as startup from VS.NET 2005) and attach the manifest in debug mode the following error is displayed. Can someone shed some light on how to overcome, any Microsoft VSTO team members, pls help.

ERROR:

PInvokeStackImbalance was detected
Message: A call to PInvoke function 'WRDomainSetup!WRDomainSetup.EverettPolicy::GetRequestedRuntimeInfo' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

TIA.

    Hi,

    This Forum is for VSTO-specific issues. Have you considered using VSTO to create the custom task pane

    You also might try posting your question to one of the Office newsgroups. Additionally, the following link provides some articles on creating smart documents: http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/smarttags/articles/

    I hope this helps,

    Hi Misha,

    I'm getting a similar problem when following the VSTO 2005 Excel Lab at http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/odc_vsto2005_tr/html/OfficeVSTO2005ExcelLabs.asp

    I get the problem when trying exercise 3. The problem occurs when I use the completed project, and when I'm following the exercise (typing the code myself.)

    I've included a list of the dlls loaded in the process with their versions at the end of this post.

    What is IBF And is there a newer version I can use which might fix this problem please

    Cheers,

    Daniel Bryars

    FYI, found a post here which fixed my problem:

    http://www.eggheadcafe.com/forumarchives/vsnetvstoolsoffice/mar2006/post26092421.asp

    I removed my own smart tag registry entries from:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart Tag\Actions and

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart Tag\Recognizers

    Cheers,

    Daniel

  • WM8S

    Vishnu,

    Can you post the list of all the DLLs and their versions, both managed and unmanaged, that are loaded into the process

    We have seen this issue before and IBF 1.0 on the machine is the usual suspect. I have not been able to pinpoint what exactly causes this behavior though.



  • Jason Locke

    I did getover the PInvokeStackImbalance by disabling the MDAConfig entry...

    However, there is something wrong with VS.NET 2005 edition...it does not allow to debug the DLLs with ISmartDocument implementation which is attached to template using manifest.....

    Please note that am not using VSTO 2005 or IBF.

    After trying hard...I gave up on VS.NET 2005 and going back to VS.NET 2003..a shame but reality....looks like no one from MSFT cares:-)..hmmm.
