Hi,

I am using build 1555 of Visual Assist X within Visual Studio 6.0 (SP6) and C++.
Since we are using this tool we have the problem, that the Visual Studio 6.0 process still stays in memory (with very large memory usage), if we close the VC6 without closing the workspace separately. Then if we shutdown the pc or kill the VC6 process manually, it crashes with the standard error for memory faults ("The memory on address xxx could not be read ...").
The error occurs on all operating systems (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista) on all pc's of our developers.

We are working with a very large VC6 workspace (up to 150 projects, every project has up to 300 source files), so I assume that the VA cache is not cleared correctly, but I don't know it.


Regards,
Werner Heinrich

Are you seeing any problems while VC6 is running? There is a known problem with very large workspaces in VC6 which shows up even without VA installed, but VA makes the problem slightly worse. However I don't recall that problem causing a crash on exit.

Have you used older versions of VA? I am wondering if this is a new problem in build 1555, or if it is a general VA problem.

Do you have any other plugin's installed?
Are there any utilities / programs that are running on all of the developers machines that might be a factor here? Obviously we can rule out the OS since it happens on different machines with different OS's.
