RE: [libreoffice-users] RE: 0xc0000005 error in RPCRT4.dll from soffice.bin)

Thank you.  I did a little research.

(There is a web site devoted to 0xc0000005!)

This is an access violation error.

It cropped up in a Windows system DLL (RPCRT4.dll is for remote procedure calls and it is part of 
Windows).  

It appears that the proximate cause is a request from soffice.bin.  

Windows 7 compatibility removing the problem suggests that this is related to automatic use of 
hardware security features that Windows 8 now imposes on applications by default.

I checked on the certification requirements for Windows 8 desktop apps at 
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh749939.aspx>.

It appears that the issues that might need to be addressed are that of section 1.1 and those under 
section 3.  I don't know the extent to which those have been addressed for LibO.  I did observe 
some active work to comply on Apache OpenOffice.  I don't know how much the automated tools for 
verification of the requirements help in this particular area.

I don't have LibO on any Windows 8 configurations at the moment.  I'll remedy that and see if this 
is a broadly-reproducible situation.

 - Dennis

I don't know what was causing the original problem. I was running the latest
version of Java but, just in case, I downloaded it again and re-installed.
That made no difference to the problem.

What did resolve the problem was to change the compatibility mode for
swriter.exe to "Windows 7". That's what led me to wonder whether LO 3.6 was
fully Windows 8 ready?

Since then I have set "Windows 7" as the compatibility mode for all other LO
components.
