VB6 WMP.DLL Access Violation

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I'm trying to create an OCX using VB6 with WMP 10 embedded, and I'm having some
stability issues. When I exit my application that uses the OCX, I get an access
violation. The steps to reproduce this and details on the exception are
included below. Can anyone explain why this is happening and provide a fix?

Create a project with one form.
Add a component reference to wmp.dll
Add a User Control to the project
Add an instance of the wmp control to the user control
Add an instance of the user control to the main form
Compile the program
Open the program in the debugger (WinDbg)
Run the program and close the main form window

You will get the following exception:

(13ec.32c): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

c0000

The system seems to be freeing something twice (off the heap, I
presume). The application doesn't exit properly.

Tnx!
