Apprunner crash on startup if npmidi32.dll is found in comm451 plugin folder

Build: M3

Comment 1

It is now happening also in M4

Comment 2

[basic]

The npmidi32.dll comes from Liveupdate Crescendo Version 3.0 for Windows 95
It also affects the neoplanet technology preview ( with mozilla's active-x
component) but it does not disable it.

I experience that on M3 and every nightly builds that I downloaded.

gbush, could you check this out with latest build please?

Comment 5

[Brian Ostrom]

Chris/Leaf, do either of you know anything about this?

Reproduced on Win95 and Win98 machines-'apprunner caused an exception 03H in
module NPMIDI32.dll....'
I did not have Liveupdate Crescendo V3.0 - downloaded and installed current
build of apprunner (apr21)on all Win32 machines and got the error on the 95 and
98 machines.
NOTE: this did not occur on my WinNT machine. Apprunner (1999042108) is
launching and running without a problem

this looks like a incompatibility in the plugin handler, not a build config
issue. reassigning to

Can you please post a test URL and tell me where I can obtain a copy of the
plugin?  I cannot find it on MS's site.

Comment 9

[Alex Musil]

Never mind - I found the plugin.

I cannot repro the crash at startup with a recent build.

Can someone verify this?
