[1.5.0.17] Crash: giving designer.exe long string as param


Recommended Posts

Trying stupid stuff, I discovered that designer.exe doesn't like long strings as parameter

 

1. start cmd.exe

2. change directory to AD-Directory

3. start designer.exe with very long string as parameter (= crash 0x800700CE)

Designer.exe %1%111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Or by giving only a "?" as parameter:

 

 

1. start cmd.exe

2. change directory to AD-Directory

3. start designer.exe with ? or * as parameter (= crash 0x80070057)

Designer.exe ?
Designer.exe *
Designer.exe [Alt + 255]

As you say later, it isn't just long strings. I tried

Designer.exe /?

when Designer was already running, and it crashed.

 

 

1. start cmd.exe

2. change directory to AD-Directory

 

Or perhaps a little easier, open your %ProgramFiles%\Affinity folder in an Explorer window, Shift+right-click on the Affinity Designer Public Beta folder, and choose 'Open command window here' from the context menu.

Er, why would you want to do that?
