AccessViolationException

[adrianbanks]

We have packaged a database and are getting an error when the exe is run (near to the end of the unpackage). I'm using Packager 5.3.0.80.

The error is:

"System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted."

Any ideas what could be causing this? I don't currently have access to any more information about the error, but wondered if there were known causes.

Thanks,
Adrian

I've managed to get a stack trace from when the error was thrown:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication
that other memory is corrupt.

Server stack trace:

Any ideas?
