I need to investigate some IT environmental problems in our Terminal server environment. We ourself don't manage this, it's a contractor that deals with all of the IT stuff. It must be some influence from GPO or virus scanner etc, becasue the problem occurs also on a clean VM they made for testing purposes. Because that new VM still follows the rules of the managed environment I think this is a systematic problem and not a coding error - if I install Windows 2008R2 on my own test machine I don't see this problem.
The problem itself:
in our "managed" productional environment we have an application we develop by ourself. The application has a Richtext editor that can help VB scripting by reading out the "public" functions from two DLL they come with our applicaiton. The readout is done with the Tlbinf32.dll which is part of the operating system. By doing this the application crashes.
In an "unmanaged" test environment the problem doesn't occur, debugview and process monitor just stop, but don't show any particularities or even errors.
