Crash Report problem

[PlanetBoss]

I start eSignal with VB6's IDE up. I start my application, check IsEntitled (no problems). I set eSignal to nothing in the unload sub. Then when I try to shut down eSignal, this Crash Report window pops up and up and up and up and up... I have to do control + alt + delete again and again and again and again. I can't even send a crash report. THAT gives me errors. Any ideas? Just isn't practical to go through so much to try stuff and debug.

7.8 has a problem with the Desktop API that would cause a crash when your program exits. This has been fixed in 7.9, due out today.

Where can I get 7.9?

Where can I get 7.9? Would there be a problem using WMI as in:

Public Sub CloseAPP_B(AppNameOfExe As String)
Dim oProcList As Object
Dim oWMI As Object
Dim oProc As Object
Dim theProcess As String
Dim theApplication As String

If Len(AppNameOfExe) > 15 Then
AppNameOfExe = Left(AppNameOfExe, 15)
End If

'step1: create WMI object Instance:
Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:")
If IsNull(oWMI) = False Then
'step2: create object collection of Win32 processes:
Set oProcList = oWMI.InstancesOf("win32_process")
'step3: iterate through the enumerated collection:
For Each oProc In oProcList
'option to close a process:
theProcess = UCase(oProc.Name)
theApplication = UCase(AppNameOfExe)
If UCase(oProc.Name) = UCase(AppNameOfExe) Then
oProc.Terminate (0)
End If 'IsNull(oWMI)=False
Next
Else
'report error
End If
'step4: close log file; clear out the objects:
Set oProcList = Nothing
Set oWMI = Nothing
End Sub

And just shut down winsig.exe when I shut down my application? Rather not do it if 7.9 doesn't require it.
Thanks!

7.9 was released today. It is on our main page.
