XLL addin causes excel to crash when moving a sheet to a new workbook

Hi,

Our customers reported that excel's move sheet to new book feature crashes excel when our XLL addin is loaded. There is simply an apprash.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: excel.exe
Application Version: 14.0.7140.5000
Application Timestamp: 5462a671
Fault Module Name: MSVCR90.dll
Fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161
Fault Module Timestamp: 4dace5b9
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 0003b458
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
LCID: 1033
skulcid: 1033

Our addin has some UDFs in it and is hooked up to a few events but it only writing a log message on initialize and clearing a flag oncalc canceled and ended. The UDFs aren't in use at all in the sample file.

OnInitialize
OnCalculationCanceled
OnCalculationEnded

It happens and many types of files an example of which is here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/110mzkvy4s5z1o8/FF.xlsx?dl=0

We simply right click the active sheet and select move to new book.

Our clickonce addin installer is located here:

Not sure what you guys need to debug this but I haven't had the chance to try reproducing it with a simple empty XLL addin and see if it still occurs.

Please let me know what you need and I can try and get you enough code to actually repro it on your side.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Does your add-in include a COM add-in? Or this is a single XLL add-in?

Could you please try to reproduce this using a simple test add-in? Make sure that all COM add-ins and Excel add-ins are turned off.

So I setup a simple addin and was able to reproduce it using the FF.xlsx file above. Simply open the file, right click on the 2014 sheet and choose move to new book and excel dies.


Here is the addin zip:

Chris,

The issue isn't reproducible on my side. Could you please check if the issue is still reproducible if you disable all other COM add-ins and Excel add-ins?

Hi Andrei,

Sorry I missed your post as I didn't notice any email notifications. Yeah my test was with no addins other than the COM and XLL addins in the zip file I included. All other addin were inactive. I wonder if it has to do with Visual Studio version? I'm using VS 2010 with Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010 SP2.

Hello Chris,

Thank you. The issue seemingly doesn't relate to the extensions that you have installed in VS. This may relate to .NET 4.5.1 if you use it in your add-in; there are some updates that you need to install as my VS shows .NET 4.5.51209 SP1 Rel.

Hi Andrei, so I updated my .NET to 4.5.2 (4.5.51209 SP1 Rel) and the same thing happens. I wonder how we can debug this as I can reproduce it two ways (on our addin that's built on a separate build machine and my debug environment). Have you tested it on Office 2010 SP2?

Hello Chris,

Yes, I tested it in Excel 2010 SP2. Could you please send me a video showing how you start Excel and reproduce the issue?

Also please test the same scenario with the COM add-in disabled. Then disable the XLL add-in and turn the COM add-in on: does the issue persist?

Hi Andrei, Our support team made a video with the issue. It looks a bit different than on my machine, as I didn't see the memory message, but the effect is the same.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xoeif40pam3wcpd/MoveSheetError.mp4?dl=0

Excel is started by just double clicking the FF.xlsx file and the only thing that seems to trigger it is the XLL. The COM addin doesn't affect the tests at all. We turn the XLL on and it happens, when it's off it doesn't.

Thanks,

Chris
