Fortress and Visual Studio 2008 on Vista and XP - VS crashes

[jimwarnock]

We checked in a project into Fortress and that worked fine or appeared to be fine. But once we either try to check out a file from it OR open the project in visual studio after closing it, Visual Studio crashes. “Microsoft visual studio has encountered a problem and needs to close.”



Faulting application devenv.exe, version 9.0.21022.8, time stamp 0x47317b3d, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bd80, exception code 0xe053534f, fault offset 0x0001b09e, process id 0xe04, application start time 0x01c8ab145d96d4f9.



This happens on both XP and Vista. This is the latest version of Fortress 1.1.1 and the Enhanced Client.



This happens on two different XP boxes and a Vista Ultimate box.



This also happens before and after installing the VS 2008 hotfixes.



If we don’t use Fortress, all is well.



We’ve each gone through your KB and support area and tried the various fixes and nothing has helped.



Could you provide assistance in getting Fortress to work with VS 2008?



Thanks.



Here’s some of the output from an extended log (Note the NullReferenceException):

I would have suspected that this were some kind of installation/configuration problem, but you say it's happened on multiple machines. It looks like you've already turned on diagnostic logging. Can you send me a full log, from startup to crash? You can email it to ian at sourcegear dot com.
