Re: Oveflow Error while building an image, Code = 0x800a0006

JimT ,

Interesting. I never saw this one with FP2007 version of the toolkit. I mean
there were a bunch of similar issues (overflow, crash, hang, lock, etc.) in
pre-FP2007 times but now the tools work really stable for me. I have only
seen one TD crash on FP2007 so far and it was an extreme case when I was
playing around with a debugger.

There are some ways to debug the issue even for us [non-MS folks] who don't
have the code for the tools. However, since we won't be able to make any
changes in TD and re-build and test the new tools, the effort is purely
going to be an learning exercise. Perhaps, filing a bug to Microsoft about
the issue is a better idea.

Anyway, since I am not seeing the issue here at all, did you make any
changes to the XPProEmulation project on your side? If so, could you share
out the image so that I could give it a try? If I can repro the issue here,
I can capture more info about it with a debugger.

I tried to build an image in TD using KM's xp pro emulation project file
from xpefile.com. The build fails after a few minutes with the following
popup error message:

Microsoft Target Designer
---------------------------
An internal error occured while building the runtime image.
Code = 0x800a0006
Description = Overflow
[OK]

The Debug window at the bottom shows this:
Error 6 (0x6) in "Microsoft VBScript runtime error": Overflow

It was Building the "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" component when the error
popped up. Based on the Progress bar it was within two green bars of
completing. Dang.

Factiods:
This is an SP2 FP2007 toolset, purchased tools, not eval
The PC has never run a CTP eval
Dependencies were all resolved manually (auto-resolve is not selected)
My build machine has 2GB of memory,
Build machine OS is XP Pro SP2.
XPe build env most recent updates: From 15Jan07, X13-45138.img
Free diskspace on build machine: 44GB

Settings:
Visibility is 100
Build Type is Release
Mode = expert
Nums at bottom: 1905 components 582,707KB 809316KB

Thanks in advance for any help.
