What Does This Update Fix?This update has the new C-Run-time Library DLL, Msvcrt.dll. which resolves the heap compatibility problems described in the following Microsoft Knowledge base articles:Q190536 PRB: Invalid Page Fault in Msvcrt.dllThe cause of the compatibility problems was a change in the internal layout of the way that the C Run-Time library allocates memory. No application should be dependant on this layout, but due to the issues in the previously mentioned articles, they are unknowingly affected by the new heap manager. The new Msvcrt.dll file implements two heap managers, the Visual C++ 5 compatible heap manager and the Visual C++ 6 compatible heap manager. It detects with which Visual C++ version your application is built and uses the appropriate heap manager for that application. If this version is 6.0 or greater, the Visual C++ 6 compatible heap manager is used and if it is earlier than version 6.0,the Visual C++ 5 compatible heap is used. The following bugs in Visual C++ 6.0 are also fixed in this update: Q193099 FIX: CDialog::Create() Returns Incorrect Value Calling EndDialog Where Do I Get the Microsoft Libraries Update?You can download the update from the following Web site:http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Additional query words: kbVS600SP2 kbdss
