You might try Process Explorer and using the Find function to find msvcrt.dll. That would at least tell you the processes that are using it. This usually works for me whenever the erroring application actually hangs and doesn't just exit and note the error. If it just continues on and actually exits you may have a difficult time indeed tracking it down.
Doing a search on my Win 7 64-bit system found 36 processes using that DLL at the moment. Good luck! Joe From: Mike Gill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 8:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: msvcrt.dll error: _except_handler4_common This is on Windows 2003 std 32bit. I get this error when trying to run the management console for Soapbox Server (an xmpp messaging package). This was working months ago, but I had to stop working on it until now due to lack of time. Even trying to reinstall gives me the same message just as it comes to the screen for creating/using the SQLExpress database. Searching online mentions using depends.exe to try and figure out what is hitting the msvcrt.dll, but I can't seem to figure out how to make depends.exe do that. I've tried process monitor and only see registry paths come up. Other people have found dwmapi.dll on their system and solved this error by renaming or deleting that file, but it's not present on my system. This function is present in the Vista msvcrt.dll, but not the XP/2003 version. Looking for answers or tips on how to solve this.
