SYMPTOMS

When you add a new test case to a Visual Test project and the project is under source-code control, Developer Studio may cause one of the following errors:

MSDEV.EXE - Application Error

MSDEV caused an invalid page fault in module MSVCBLD.PKG at <memory location>.

The instruction at <memory location> referenced memory at "<memory location>". The memory could not be "read".

MSDEV caused an invalid page fault in module SSSCC.DLL at <memory location>.

MSDEV caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at <memory location>.

RESOLUTION

You must remove the project from source-code control before adding a new test case.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual SourceSafe version 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps To Reproduce Behavior

Under File, New, select Project Workspace (MFC AppWizard EXE). Accept all defaults.
Under Tools, select Source Control, then select Add To Source Control (keep all files checked out).
Select the TestView tab (the one with the red check).
Right-click the project name and select New.
Give the item a name and leave the type as "Test Case."
Click OK. Developer Studio will probably generate a fatal application error.
