The application failed to initialize properly (0xeedfa          BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> C++ Builder (Language C++) View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message Andrew Bond Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 6:33 pm    Post subject: Help! The application failed to initialize properly (0xeedfa How do I determine the cause of the error 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xeedfade)' which occurs twice when I start my application? (The app then closes, without showing ist UI.) I cannot get the program to stop on a breakpoint placed on WinMain and I'm clueless as to what is causing the problem. I'm using C++Builder 6 with the new DevEx Bars 6 components (especially: the new Ribbon). A non-ribbon version of my app works without this problem (and another app with the ribbon works fine also). Any pointers would be most welcome. Thanks Andrew Back to top dhoke Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 7:04 pm    Post subject: Re: Help! The application failed to initialize properly (0xe Usually when I've seen such a message it has been with a value (0xc0000021) (I think) - but, that aside, when I've seen it, its often been because the permissions on some dll or directory, even though seeming OK, were preventing the application from running. I have sometimes used sysinternals filemon trying to watch what files are accessed after the program is started, and then looking at the last ones attempted before the program fails to load, examining their ACL lists. Then, I replace the ACLs (using cacls) with everyone:full (not a good choice for final distribution/installation, but OK for development/diagnosis.) This may not be your case, as your message seems to be trying to tell you something ( (e)X(c)EEDFADE ? ), but I offer it FWIW.

One such hit mentioned <quote> You can also get that exception code if an exception is raised inside a DLL and not caught within the DLL code. </quote> http://groups.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.non-technical/browse_thread/thread/a03e752ac9fd5a9f/82866287ac237cb3 http://tinyurl.com/2bykbf Back to top Andrew Bond Guest Posted: Wed May 16, 2007 4:09 pm    Post subject: Re: Help!

Thanks for the suggestions - it turned out to be a problem with Developer Express's NAvBar component being used in a DLL and the App at the same time - this results in double registration of the NavBar class. Anyway, solved now. Thanks Andrew Back to top Andrew Bond Guest Posted: Wed May 16, 2007 4:10 pm    Post subject: Re: Help!
