Hi
i've stumbled upon a nasty issue. I've been using VDOS for a while for our legacy application, but now on couple of brand new machines it fails to run, the application does some initialization as it creates a few lines of logs, but then derails. Also the included demo application fails. Windows tracks an error of vdos.exe in event log.
The combo appears to be VDOS 20180530 + Windows 10 1809 64 bit + Asian IME.
Behavior: black VDOS window appear for a few seconds, then closes down. Windows tracks error 0xc000041d offset 0x00058c85
This happens when active keybord layout is set to an Asian IME, such as Japanese or Chinese.
Incredibly, if i set keyboard as ENG, VDOS runs fine.
So for now the only workaround i've come up with is to switch keyboard to ENG before the DOS program is needed, which is quite nonsense.
I am not sure this is the only combo which raises the issue. I've several workstations running a wide array of w10 from 1607 to 1803 in different countries, although i'm rolling out OS upgrades from win7 in Asia recently, so the number of them is still low and not all of them use their IME.
I suspect this is one the bugs introduced with the infamous 1809 upgrade. I've been doing some research but can't find out much as possibly most of the articles are in asian languages and/or this hits a very thin area of the system which no other program than VDOS uses...
Let me know if i can provide anything else useful to investigate the issue.
