    Question Need Help Analyzing PML Log File for Sudden Termination of VB6 EXE

    Hello VB6 Community,

    I'm facing a perplexing issue with a VB6 application that quits unexpectedly with a ding.wav sound upon startup, but this only happens when run on any machine other than the developer machine. The application doesn't even reach Sub Main.

    The application is substantial, featuring:

    • About 20 OCXs
    • 15 UserControl instances
    • 10 ActiveX EXEs
    • 5 Type Libraries (TLBs)
    • Numerous enums, including one with roughly 2000 enumerators


    Troubleshooting this issue is challenging due to the application’s size. Dismantling and testing it component by component could potentially take up to five days.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    • Utilizing Process Explorer, which failed as the application terminates too quickly to track.
    • Implementing a global exception handler, which has had no effect since Sub Main isn't even initiated.


    I have now managed to capture a Process Monitor log (PML file) during one of these sudden terminations. I’m attaching the PML log here for analysis. Could anyone recommend tools or methods to analyze this log to pinpoint where and why the termination occurs? Any insights or guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
