Failed with return code:-532462766

[Sgbmad]

Hi!

I'm using a Post-Building event to run a custom EXE and I get this error:

Running ******.exe
Application "*******.exe" failed with return code:-532462766.

I can check the EXE was executed without problems but I always get that error.

How can I avoid it?

Cheers.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

This could happen if your EXE app does return the related exit code (different that 0) on a successful exit. When we get an exit code different than 0 we interpret this as a failure. If this is the case, then to avoid the build operation failure you should make sure you uncheck the "Cancel build in case of a launch failure" option for your build event.

All the best,
Daniel

Hi and thank you

I don't think so....

The exe is a .net app returning the exit code.

Hello,

I have tested the scenario using a sample .Net app and everything went fine in my tests. Accordingly with the exit code caught by our build process (-532462766 which in hexa is E0434352‬) this seems to be a .Net exception exit code.

Could you try to replicate the same issue using a small sample app? Or could you forward us by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com a download link for your custom EXE and a test case we can follow to replicate the behavior?

All the best,
Daniel

Hi!

Well, I have found the reason finally. It was very very simple. If I remove the last "End" instruction, then the error dissapear!

Thank you anyway!

Cheers.
