INFO: Fatal Exit Code 0x0506 Definition

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY

Fatal Exit code 0x0506 is not documented in Appendix C of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 2" version 3.0.

This Fatal Exit will occur if the GetProfileString() or GetPrivateProfileString() function is called with the lpDefault parameter set to NULL. lpDefault specifies a string to return in the lpReturnedString buffer if no match for lpKeyName is found.

To correct this Fatal Exit, always provide a valid string pointer for the lpDefault parameter.

GetProfileString() and GetPrivateProfileString() are documented in the Windows SDK "Reference, Volume 1" for version 3.0 and in the "Programmer's Reference, Volume 2: Functions" for version 3.1.
