FIX: "Unhandled Exception in DEVENV.exe" Error When You Save a File in Visual InterDev (274225)

SYMPTOMS

In Visual InterDev, when you save a file or change from Design view to Source view, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Unhandled Exception in DEVENV.EXE. The memory cannot be read.

-or-

DEVENV.EXE Application Error: The memory could not be "written"

Then, Visual InterDev stops responding (crashes) and closes.

CAUSE

Triedit.dll version 6.01.8243, which ships with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 4, seems to fail when you enter certain text strings into an HTML or Active Server Pages (ASP) page and then save the file or toggle from Design view to Source view. The error occurs when the Triedit.dll file attempts to parse the text and subsequently crashes Visual InterDev.

RESOLUTION

Upgrade to version 6.01.8851 of Triedit.dll, which ships with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.
