After installing VAX (the latest version and the version prior to that have the same problem), I've noticed that my Visual Studio crashes upno exiting most of the time. I'd say after working on a project for a bit, it'll crash about 90% of the time when exiting out. When it doesn't crash, all the windows close and it sits there for a good 5-10 seconds and then it'll finally close. With VAX uninstalled, quitting is instantaneous and crash-free.

Any ideas?

Which programming language are you working in?
Do you have any other IDE plugins installed?

Clearly this is not supposed to happen. With the IDE closed can you try deleting the directory:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\ USERNAME \\Local Settings\\Application Data\\VisualAssist\
This is where VA stores its symbol database, and this will force VA to rebuild it. It is possible a corrupt VA symbol database is a factor here. If so this should help.

Can you also delete the NCB file in the root directory of your solution please. The IDE will rebuild this file. Corrupt NCB files can crash the IDE, but that should happen with or without VA, so this is a long shot, but it is a quick and easy test.


If this does not help are you able to debug this crash with a second IDE instance, and save out a mini dump file? A mini dump might help us work out what is going wrong here. If you can get one can you please submit the file via the form:

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.

I was also seeing this problem with 2003 and 1647. I've installed the 1649 build and I have not seen it yet. I don't program in 2003 as often now as my responsibilities have changed somewhat and now I code more in C++/CLI on 2005. Was this fixed with the new build then?

To be honest I am not sure. Without knowing the exact cause of the crash you were seeing it is hard to tell. VA 1649 does contain quite a few bug fixes, so it may well fix this problem.
