Run-Time Check Failure #2

[indyrhett]

When running our install, some customers are seeing this error:

Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Error!

Program: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\scthost.exe
Module: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\scthost.exe
File:
Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable ‘szTitle1’ was corrupted.

Never seen this problem before - any ideas? We are using XE2 12.4.14

Thanks,

Dear Rhett,

it's not easy to say what could be the real nature of the error by the only information you shared and without knowing what your installer really does.

Do you install any "Microsoft Visual C++" Runtime?

We don't install any runtimes in the installer. It happens as soon as they run our application - if they choose "ignore" then the install seems to go through fine.

Dear Rhett,

I repeat, it's not easy to identify the possible cause of your issue by the only information you shared.

In the specific, the SVCHost is an OS tool used by a large number of system's processes.

Due the fact that you never had this problem before, it could be even possible that the issue has a system cause and just for some reasons, it appears when you try to run your package.

In addition;
- are you able to replicate the error in some way?
- does it happen with some specific target systems only?
- does it happen with some specific machines of a single customer?

Regards
