The application failed to intialize properly (0xc0000005)

[thorq2]

I have an application which executes properly under XP Professional but
during the early startup in XPe I get an Application Error. I have XPe with
SP2 but have not installed Feature Pack 2007.

I started out with analyzing the exe-file with Dependancy Walker (DW) and
added missing dll:s by adding coresponding components to my image in Target
Designer. I have also Profiled the application in XP Pro and XPe with DW and
below you will find the printouts in XPe when the appålication error occurs:

Just wondering - are you able to launch the app in your XPe image manually (not via startup)?

Also, if it is a dependency issue, have you tried something like full XPe image (XPProEmulation from www.xpefiles.com will do it) to
see if it works there?

Ok I'm sorry I do not launch the application at startup. What I meant was the
startup of the application monitored with DW. I will try the XPProEmulation
and have some other things I will try as well.

Thanks for now.

The problem has been solved. It seems like an application installation
overwrote one of my device drivers which caused the problem.

Thanks anyway.
