Autodata Runtime Error 217 At 00580d29 Site

program SimulateError217; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn REM Then run autodata.exe If so, I can write a standalone .exe that prints that error message and terminates with the same error code for testing or documentation.

Compile with cl /LD /GS- crash.cpp — load DLL in target process → triggers error 217 at that address. Many AutoData versions store config in %APPDATA%\AutoData or C:\ProgramData\AutoData . Delete or corrupt these files, then launch: Delete or corrupt these files, then launch: //

// Call virtual method -> corrupt VMT -> runtime error 217 obj.CrashMe; end.
