Crash with v14.5.1 and Win10

#1

Hi,

It seems that from some reason using GDAL on v14.5.1 causes a crash with Win10 (x64) but works properly with Win11 (x64). I was able to re-produce this problem simply by creating empty gdal converter:

    private async void MapView_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        GdalProjectionConverter converter = new GdalProjectionConverter();           
    }

When such app is run on Win10 it will crash with following exception:

The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

On Win11 it works fine. Please check what’s the problem.

Hi Simo,

Not very sure why Win10 doesn’t like this method: SetPROJSearchPaths(). We walked it around anyway. Please pull the latest beta026 and have a try.

Thanks,

Hi,

Tested with beta026 and it crashed now like this:

Exception Info: System.AccessViolationException

Hi Simo,

At this point, it doesn’t look like a general Windows 10 issue. It seems more likely to be a machine-specific GDAL initialization or dependency-loading issue.

I’ve attached a small diagnostic project. Please compile it, run it on that Win10 machine, and send me the generated gdal-diagnostic-report.txt.
