'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException while browsing OPC Server nodes

One more thing: Please make sure you build with the very latest QuickOPC version and build (at this moment, build 5.35.442.1, as posted on this site under Downloads). There is a specific fix inside, for a bug that can appear under 64-bit systems with browsing - it can be your problem, too.

We have a similar report from another customer, but were unable to reproduce it so far. He is in the process of sending us a virtual machine image that has the reproducible scenario "in it". It appears to be related to which other OPC software is installed on the machine. If it is the same problem, yours will get fixed too. I should know more next week, when we get and run the VM.

It would be the same problem, however, only if it ONLY affects the OPC browsing. I still could not tell from your answer whether that's the fact or not, and it is very important. If you try our Demo application, and do *not* press any of the Browse buttons, and simply press Read or Subscribe, does it work?

Some additional notes:
1. Our demo apps are, however, compiled for AnyCPU.
2. While it should work as well, it is not clear to me why you want to compile for x64. My understanding is that with the current implementation of the C# compiler, the only difference is in the setting some flags in the executable, which, for x64, make it impossible to run in 32-bit mode (see e.g. stackoverflow.com/questions/11062028/performance-of-a-c-shar...pu-vs-x64-platform-on-a-64-bit ). But AnyCPU will be JITted to 64-bit code on 64-bit systems.

We use the BrowseNodes method as the very first OPCLabs call in our application to determine the item identifiers on the OPC server, in order then to subscribe them.

We do not get to this, because the application exits with the exception described above.

What we did determine additionally is that the OPCLabs test tools also do not work. This was for us an indication not to proceed.

Here some additional information for you:
  • The exception above accurs if we build our DLLs for the x64 platform (Visual Studio 2012, Configuration Manager).
  • On the other hand this exception does not occur if we build our DLLs for the AnyCPU platform.
The AnyCPU platform is for us sort of workaround. We require to run OPCLabs on the x64 platform.

Other operations, such as reading, writing or subscription, appear to be working?

Thanks

Hello,

many thanks for you quick reply.

We have run the QuickOPC setup program on that computer. That is the way we install QuickOPC on all our target computers generally.

Regards

Alexander

Hello.

A question: How was the application installed on that computer? Specifically, is that your own deployment procedure, or have you run the QuickOPC setup program on that computer?

Thank you
