APAR status

Error description

• TST:1068517
  
  
  Summary:
  --------
  Error while running a TCHK exe for mastermind
  
  Description:
  ------------
  When trying to run the exe from Testchecker a following runtime
  error is observed as shown in the screenshot.
  
  From the error message, we suspect that runtime libraries not
  loading correctly.
  
  This error is only observed with VC8 installed on the system.
  The same steps does not show any errors with vc6 and vc7.
  
  Customer has a work around now, They have changed the order in
  which makelog.bat looks for the installed compilers. And have
  changed it from
  
  if exist "%VC8%" goto vc8
  if exist "%VC7%" goto vc7
  if exist "%VC6%" goto vc6
  
  to
  
  if exist "%VC7%" goto vc7
  if exist "%VC6%" goto vc6
  if exist "%VC8%" goto vc8
  
  This is working for the moment, however customer has to use an
  older compiler.
  
  Version Details:
  Logiscope: 6.5 and 6.6
  OS: Windows xp
  Compiler: vc8
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  -------------------
  1. Open Testchecker Mastermind with Logiscope 6.5/6.6
  2. Build the project.
  3. Launch Testchecker.
  4. Select the Test tab
  5. Create a new test 'File->new' and then 'Edit-> New Tests'.
  6. Select the new test and select any metric from the view, eg:
  DDP SPY.
  7. Press Go and observe the behavior.
  
  Support Observations:
  ---------------------
  We were able to observe the same behavior at our support labs.We
  suspect that Logiscope is not loading the runtime libraries
  correctly for vc8. If we use vc6 or vc7 the error is not
  observed.
  Customer has changed the makelog.bat so that it looks for vc6
  and vc7 before vc8. However this means that they will have to
  use an older compiler.
  
  We are of the opnion that this behavirois a defect. Please let
  us know if there is any solution for the same.
  

Local fix

• Customer has a work around now, They have changed the order in
  which makelog.bat looks for the installed compilers. And have
  changed it from
  
  if exist "%VC8%" goto vc8
  if exist "%VC7%" goto vc7
  if exist "%VC6%" goto vc6
  
  to
  
  if exist "%VC7%" goto vc7
  if exist "%VC6%" goto vc6
  if exist "%VC8%" goto vc8
  
  This is working for the moment, however customer has to use an
  older compiler.
