Error description
PComm V6 has worked on pre-Win 10 installations. However, on Win 10 I am getting an exception from PComm (interop.AutSessTypeLibrary - System.AccessViolationException - "Attempted to read or write protected memory." Calling '_Session.autECLPS.WaitForString("login:", 0, 0)'. I have installing fixes for V6 and I have even tried a trial version of V13 - both still have the same issue. I see this in the Application Event log. ------------------- Faulting application name: IBMFix.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0xd4ac28fc Faulting module name: autsess.dll, version: 13000.0.17326.1173, time stamp: 0x5a15a002 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00004ceb Faulting process id: 0x55d0 Faulting application start time: 0x01d4b8d0ad73509a Faulting application path: D:\OneDrive\Developments\Kew\Projects\Web Site Interface\IBMFix\IBMFix\IBMFix\bin\Debug\IBMFix.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Personal Communications\autsess.dll
