No Properties for shortcut and Error messages

I have added some Internet URL shortcuts to be added to the desktop when the install is run. They are not maintaining their Icon so I was trying to follow another post in the forum and look at their properties.
When I right click on the shortcut and click properties a vb window ( or some alert window ) opens with a message that says :

Exception - ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x12d6b400409046.
***Stack Trace ***
[0x00409046]
[0x77d43a50]
[0x77d4c675]CharLowerBuffA()
[...]CharLowerBuffA()
[...]DefDlfProcW()
[...]wsprintfA()
[...]PostMessage()
[...]UserLpkPSMTextOut()
[...]KiUserCallbackDispatcher()
[...]
[...]DefDlgProcW()
[...]CarLowerBuffA()
[...]DefDlgProcW()
[...]
[...]ReleaseDC()
[...]SetDlgItemTextW()
[...]


if the 0x77d4c9999 numbers are important I can reproduce this error pretty consistently just let me know and I'll generate them for you.


The other strange thing is that This sin't the only location Ive gotten errors like this. Did I get some version of the software in Debug mode or something? the Help>About Says I have verstion 2.4.1

Oh.. and after this message it kills the software. I have to restart the software and I lose any work that hasn't been saved.

thanks

Hi Paul,

Can you please try out the latest AI version (2.5.1) to see if you can still reproduce the problem? If yes, please send the AIP to support at advanced installer dot com so we can debug it.

The messages are available in the Release build as well, to help us pinpoint problems.

Thanks,
Cata
