Q. Upon exiting from a console program, an error such as the following appears: Access violation at address 6F78DE5B in module ‘ConEmuHk.dll’. Read of address 0071004E
A. One possible cause is when the program destroys its own import table. The proper solution would be to contact the application developer. For a precise verdict, send me a minidump.
Q. ConEmu or console application hangs on exit
A. No issues for this problem have been filed so far. Nevertheless,
if hang occures on exit, create minidumps for the
processes ConEmu*.exe, ConEmuC*.exe and all console processes
(far.exe, cmd.exe…) See below for instructions. Pack up and submit
the minidumps to the developer. To correctly
create a minidump of a 32-bit application in a
64-bit OS, you must use ConEmu.
Q. How to create a minidump
A. Windows XP and above.
Press Win+R and run the following command, it will create a full process memory dump (it may be large enough).
C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\ConEmuC.exe /DEBUGPID=Your_PID /FULL
Or, create a small process memory dump. Yes, it will be small, but may contains not enough information for detecting a problem.
C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\ConEmuC.exe /DEBUGPID=Your_PID /MINI
Substitute Your_PID with the process ID, read below. You will be offered to choose filename for a minidump.
Warning! Before creating dumps of Far Manager please ensure that “far.exe” was started with “/x” switch.
A. Windows 7 and up.
Warning! This method only works for processes with the same bitness as the operating system. Therefore, you won’t be able to create a working minidump for 32-bit processes when using a 64-bit Windows version.
Open Windows’ Task Manager, switch to the “Processes” tab, right-click the process, and select “Create dump file”.
A. Process Explorer.
‘Process Explorer’ can also create minidumps, however it will also fail to create a correct minidump for a 32-bit process on a 64-bit system.
Q. Where can I find Process ID (PID)
A. You can find the Process ID near to Process Name (ConEmu.exe, cmd.exe, etc.)
- in Windows’ Task Manager, PID column on Processes page;
- in the ConEmu status line;
- in the Info page of ConEmu Settings dialog.
Note! Sometimes PID column in the Task Manager window may be hidden, enable it in Task manager settings.
- Windows 7 and below: Task Manager -> Processes tab -> Menu -> View -> Select Columns -> Check ‘PID’.
- Windows 8: Task Manager -> Show ‘More details’ -> Processes tab -> Right click on column title -> Check ‘PID’.
Q. How to run Task Manager
A. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc or right click on taskbar and choose menu item ‘Task Manager’.
Q. ConEmuC: CreateFile(CONOUT$) failed, ErrCode=0x00000005
A. The launched program created and set up its own console buffer created using CreateConsoleScreenBuffer(..., 0/*No sharing*/, ...). Ask the program author to create the buffer with the correct access flags:
(GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,...)
