Out of memory exception on inspector's WordEditor

Hi,

Some of our customers recently complain about issues occurring when our add-in populates an appointment's body in an inspector window. The issue started happening on February 2019.

The issue seems related to a recent Windows 10 update, Windows 10 October 2018 Update(1809):



The error is:
2019/01/25 09:27:11 ERROR - System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC837000E): Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Inspector.get_WordEditor()


This happens when accessing the WordEditor property of an Inspector: 

doc = insp.WordEditor;



Do you have any idea why this happens?

Thank you,
Horatiu

Hello Horatiu,

In what event do you access that property?

One time I access it in an event handler for a ribbon button:
-adxInpsectorRibbonButtonMeetingAddCancel_OnClick

Other time I access it on the ExplorerSelectionChanged

It happens on both cases. Also, this started happening recently also on an older version of the add-in which was not changed for months, which suggests that it might be an OS level change which is causing it.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Hello Horatiu,

What Outlook build are you using? Please provide the complete version string that you can find in File | Office Account.

Hi Andrei,

We did not manage to reproduce this issue, but we have the Outlook exact version from the customer's logs:

Outlook 2016 (16.0.0.11126)

Looks like they previously had version: Outlook 2016 (16.0.11126.20266) which still reproduces the issue.

Hello Horatiu,

I'd suggest the customer to restart their machine. If this doesn't help, let them repair their Office installation.
