Acces violation with an external tool

Hi. I'm using Final Builder to build multiple solutions and have come accross some problems. Since the build must continue if a solution is not build correctly, I wrap Visual Studio around a try-catch block and apply a timeout to the exception catched.

My problem is that sometimes, Visual Studio (or any other tool wrapped around a try-catch and a timeout) crashes with an access violation. Once the timeout is reached, the process is killed and the action list continues to work normally. However, Final builder never seems to recover from the access violation because it crashes some time later with another access violation which would  not have occured had there not been an error in previous actions. Is there a way to catch the access violation and be sure that the action list will continue to work properly?

 

Rémi.

Hi Rémi

Which version of FinalBuilder are you using. Do you have a reproducable test case? An access violation in an external tool should not crash finalbuilder, this sounds more like an access violation in FinalBuilder. When the access violation occurs does an error dialog get displayed?

BTW, moving this thread to the FinalBuilder bugreports forum, as you posted in the Automise forums.
