.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A097706) (80131506)

[Rotem]

Hello
I have developed a windows service. A few days ago we noticed it just
stops functioning.
I installed the .net 3.5 SP1 which should include all the patches up
to now.
There was no change. Once in a while, without any apparant reason or
pattern, the application just stops working.
The eventlog shows:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: .NET Runtime
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1023
Date: 09/09/2008
Time: 12:19:51
User: N/A
Computer: ROTEMS-LAP-HZ
Description:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error
(7A097706) (80131506)

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

We are going live in a few days, and up until 2 days ago everything
worked fine.

hmm, that's a nasty error. Cut the code down to just bare bones and load it
into a separate windows service running on the same box and see if produces
the same error. If it does, that's a microsoft issue to fix. You can also
run it under the debugger and set the debugger to break on a first chance
exception. That may locate the line of code that may be responsible for the
error. However, since nothing changed on the box, it may be SP1 related.

Sorry I have same problem . Have You resoltion for this ?

I am not sure if this helps but I had a similar experience today. I was
working in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with a solution. I also had another
instance of VS2008 SP1 open with a larger solution. I closed the first Visual
Studio instance and then closed the second one. When I open VS again and then
tried to load first solution, VS starts to do it then *POOF* VS completely
disappears. I found an entry in the Event Log ".NET Runtime version
2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (6A445E00) (80131506)" which
let me to find this series of posts abandoned. I ended up deleteing all the
files (or at least the ones that were not locked) in the following folders.

C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\
C:\Windows\Temp\
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\

The problem appears to have gone away and I can now load my solution again.
Pretty wacky stuff.

I encountered this problem couple of days ago and I did a system restore to
resolve the issue :)..i know that is the right way of fixing the issue, but i
could not find any other way to sort out the issue.

You can read more about the solution i adopted over here

Hope this helps you.

I had the exact same error and uninstalling the 3.5 SP1 solved my issue.
Before, I would have to delete all of the files in the
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files folder
for visual studio to stop crashing.

By the way, I'm running Vista 64, VS2008 with ReSharper 4.1.

Uninstalling .net framework 3.5 SP1 solved the issue so I don't have to
delete those files any longer.

Has anyone found a Resolution to the problem (without uninstalling SP1 and/or
using System Restore)?
Thanks

I had a the same error today with a forms app i wriiting. The application
will error after a few user actions.

I would not fail on the first time of executeion and when it did it would
close the app silently when running stand alone, or would lock VS in debug
mode.

I managed to track this down to the use of a call to RtlZeroMemory from
KERNEL32.DLL using System.Runtime.InteropServices like this:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("KERNEL32.DLL", EntryPoint
= "RtlZeroMemory")]
private static extern bool ZeroMemory(IntPtr Destination, int Length);

EncryptFile(....)
{
....
GCHandle gch = GCHandle.Alloc(sSecretKey, GCHandleType.Pinned);
ZeroMemory(gch.AddrOfPinnedObject(), sSecretKey.Length);
gch.Free();
}

I removed this code an the issue has not occured, after trying reinstalling
.NET 3.5 sp1 which did not solve the issue.

I would guess this issue has something to do with the call to the unmanaged
code in KERNEL32 from .NET

System.Runtime.InteropServices looks to be the culpret in this case
