troubles with sendinput and winsock

Post by exstud »

Hi all

I have an opensuse 12.1 64bit kde host with win7 64bit guest. I have 2 serious problems with some software I'm deploying:

1) SendInput (the 64 bit version) calls stop working after around 50-100 invokes, it crashes and ends my application returning a 0xc0000374 error, indicating memory heap corruption.
2) Socket creation fails about 50% of the time returning error 10022 WSAEINVAL.

All this works fine on regular win7, the socket errors can be caught so they aren't critical, sendinput however is: I really need the ability to send keystrokes programmatically to the guests.

If needed I can send a small program with c# source to demonstrate these issues.

Any suggestions on how to proceed and get this working would be very welcome.

This will probably require you asking the DEVs for guidance.
You can find the contact information HERE

I just looked at the overly complex instructions to submit a bug report...

I'll try a KVM setup first and see what walls I smash into there before bugging the VB devs, thanks for the pointer anyway.

Well I was actually referring to the DEVs mailing list or IRC.
