Title: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library." Post by: Qu4k3r on August 21, 2011, 02:33:25 PM Hi, I need a little help.
Every was fine until I decided to defrag my hard drive with O&O Defrag 12 using COMPLETE/Name option. But now, my BTC client crashes every 5 minutes showing a dialog box with the follwing message "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." No matter if it is running as server mode or normal mode, it always crashes. I try to unistall the client, run CCleaner, reboot and reinstall the client again; but no succeed. I post it first there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38368.msg471751#msg471751 A forum member told me that it could be a trojan suggest me to post in this section becuase BTC client does not use VC in any way. I run a full system scan but NIS 2010 did not report any problem. Any idea or suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance.- http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/1024/11310331.jpg Title: Re: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library."

(edit) a bit of forum search turned out this thread from january http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2920.0 where someone was seeing an error similar to yours because of a corrupt wallet.dat. I hope you have a wallet backup somewhere. :( The defrag program may have damaged your wallet.dat Title: Re: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library."

The official Bitcoin Windows binary isn't built with VC, but it does use the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime (msvcrt.dll). This file might be corrupt. You can try running "sfc /scannow" from an administrator command prompt. This will attempt to find and repair bad system files. Title: Re: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes.

I just tested it with InspectExe and indeed msvcrt.dll is in the list of dependencies. Title: Re: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library."

You're right! I just tested it with InspectExe and indeed msvcrt.dll is in the list of dependencies. That is the C RTL not the C++ RTL, and indeed mingwin uses the msvcrt dll to avoid the need for gpled code at runtime. Title: Re: BTC client crashes every 5 minutes.

Yes, it is C standard library specifically, but it is considered a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (there is no Microsoft Visual C) and I'm guessing that is what the error message is referring to.

Delete everything in your appdata/Bitcoin folder EXCEPT your wallet.dat file, and then run bitcoin again.

Hmm.. that library actually predates Visual C++ though, would have thought they would have left it be, and not confused the matter with calling the the c++ library now.
