After upgrading to 5.7.8 we've started randomly getting error -5324596 in one of our jobs. It's hit and miss but has started happening more frequently.

Help please?

Admins, any insight on this error please?

Has anyone else seen this error before? The job fails when it happens.

Bump.

Sorry, we missed this. Are we talking about the Execute Task? Could you give us more information about the executable?

---

Yes, while executing a scheduled task. Server 2k3 Std. 32-bit. It runs a homemade executable (32-bit) w/ some arguments passed along. Starts in the executable's working directory, all local to the server (E:\folder\folder\etc.). After the first task to run the executable we have another task to send email on the job summary.

Thanks!

The error code is not a Windows error code so it is really hard to say what it is. Sounds like something you generate at some point or that an assembly that you use generates it.

To verify for our DEV folks, this exit code is not a Visual Cron error but and error generated by something else outside of Visual Cron?

Correct, we just capture the error. It might be even so that your exe does what it is supposed to do but exit with this error anyway.

And we just discovered that if you slide the column over it's actually exit code -532459699. Sorry!

Ok, that is better. It is a COMPlusExceptionCode which can come for various reasons as it is a general exception.

It is hard to say why without knowing the specifics of the code behind. This error is common so I guess it is easy to find feedback once you know which line it crashes on. Add some debugging lines to your code so you see which line it crashes on - then it will probably make more sense.

Wonderful, have passed this along to our DEV folks. Will report back if/when we find a fix. Thank you!
