- Microsoft Test for Windows, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

A general protection (GP) fault occurs while running TESTDLG.EXE during or after running a script that used API calls to TESTDLGS.DLL. The following error message is the result:

   TESTDLG has caused a General Protection Fault in module TESTDLG.EXE

CAUSE

The internal list of dialogs in use by TESTDLGS.DLL is changed out from under TESTDLG.EXE by the script being executed.

WORKAROUND

To avoid the error, close TESTDLG.EXE before running any script that calls TESTDLGS routines.

STATUS
