This article was previously published under Q122679

SUMMARY

The following lists the bugs in the Win32 SDK and OLE API that were known when the SDK was released.

MORE INFORMATION

  • Packager will report that there is not enough memory when you try to package a file which is in use.
  • VB can't activate Word object if Word is running in separate VDM.
  • MFC 2.5 OLE 2.0 Automation Server fails initialization.
  • If a client thread terminates without calling CoUnitialize(), its servers in the same process are not released.
  • OLE 2.0 hides application aborts. The server does not receive the exception.
  • CoCreateInstance() returns REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG when the object create fails, instead of the return code from DllGetClassObject() from the inproc server DLL.
  • OLE objects inherit only "system" environment variables, not "user" environment variables.
  • Users can log on and start an ole app before the OLE service is autostarted.
  • Passing CoMarshalInterface() a NULL pUnk (pointer to IUnknown) causes an access violation.
  • CoGetClassObject() returns E_OUTOFMEMORY when DllGetClassObject() fails.
  • If an OLE Server which dies after registering its class, the container will stall waiting for CoGetClassObject() to succeed.
  • Class cache never shrinks - all classes are treated as InUse.
  • Default handler causes RPC_E_FAULT exceptions during OnClose.
  • ::SetColorScheme() does not validate lpLogPal.
  • Messages for server ownerdraw menuitems on menu bar go to the container.
  • The server is started if you "Insert" a "Link from File" choosing icon format.
  • IsLinkUpToDate() returns S_FALSE after object creation. This can cause containers to run the server twice during creation of the object.
  • Setting the link source with IOL::SetSourceMoniker() does not update the presentation cache, even though it does run the server app.
  • AddRef() does not marshall count back properly for return value.
  • BindToStorage() on non-existent file returns MK_E_INVALIDEXTEN.
  • IOleCache::Cache() fails for ICON aspect unless metafile format is used.
  • IOleCache2::DiscardCache() does not persist uncaches.
  • If an enhanced metafile node exists and IOleCache::Cache is used to cache multiple NULL FORMATETCs, a node is added.
  • IViewObject::GetColorSet() after flushing cache should return OLE_E_BLANK, but signals Win32 error 0x8007000e.
  • OleDuplicateMedium() does not GlobalUnlock() source METAFILEPICT in the error case.
  • Iconic aspect has incorrect colors when played in metafile.
  • OLE Cache has a limit of 100 nodes, but accepts more and never returns from the call.
  • GetColorSet() for WMF should return LOGPALLETE, which is the union of colors used in the contained CreatePalette() calls. GetColorSet() only returns the first colorset found in this case.
