PRB: Target Designer Crashes when Adding a Component Using Component Management

ID: Q246654

The information in this article applies to:

Windows NT 4.0 Embedded

SYMPTOMS

When you add a custom component to Target Designer, you may see the following error message during the processing of an individual component:

The instruction at "0x76fed6ef" referenced memory at "0x07b506a6". Memory could not be "written".

Click OK to terminate the program.
Click CANCEL to debug the program.

When you click OK, Target Designer closes.

NOTE: The addresses listed in the error message may be different.

CAUSE

The component you are adding has a single straight quotation mark (') in its name.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, rename the component to remove the single quotation mark character.

MORE INFORMATION

Target Designer utilizes a Jet database to track components added to Target Designer. The single quotation mark character is a string terminator for SQL statements that access this database. This character in the component name is not handled properly by Target Designer, and it is passed unmodified through the SQL statement, generating the error.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In Component Designer, create a new component named Bad Name's. Save this component as Badtest1.kdf.

In Target Designer, select Component Management from the Tools menu.

On the Component Management dialog box, click Add.

Browse to the location of Badtest1.kdf and click Open.

The error message listed in the "Symptoms" section of this article will appear.
