SYMPTOMS
When you start Visual C++ 6.0, you get the following error message soon after the splash screen is displayed:

MsDev caused an invalid page fault C0000005 in devedit.pkg at 0171:50809e6d



CAUSE
This error is caused by a corrupted PKG file that is being accessed by Devedit.pkg. The Devedit.pkg module is using the corrupted PKG file to look up information about how to display text.

This problem happens only under very rare circumstances; however, on some systems, one of these PKG files gets corrupted during installation.



RESOLUTION
Manually copy the PKG files from directory \Common\Msdev98\Bin\Ide on CD-1, to the ...\Common\Msdev98\Bin\Ide on your hard drive--replacing the ones that the setup program put onto your system. Copy these PKG files (depending on the product edition, you may not have all of the following files):

devodl.pkg

devdtg.pkg

devhtmx.pkg

devent.pkg

devcpp.pkg

devaut1.pkg



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
