Faulting application rfcexec.exe, faulting module ntdll.dll

[Former Member]

On a dev PI 7.1 SPS 8 server (Windows Server 2003, MS SQL 2008 DB, single host) I am getting this error in the Windows Application Log:

Faulting application rfcexec.exe, version 7100.80.14.21962, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.2.3790.4455, fault address 0x000000000003bbfb.

I have not been able to find anything specific on OSS or Google about it.

I have updated the Visual C++ files to 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update, patch 8 but this did not resolve the issue.

Any idea what it causing it?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try applying the last rfc sdk.

Please check SAP note 684106 ('Microsoft runtime DLLs'), and note 27517

Hi Vincent,

OSS note 27517 says that for a 7.10 system I should install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB973544), however I have already done that and it has not resolved the issue.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

besides ensuring your latest latest DLL, as specific in note 684106, i.e latest executables, latest DLL library,

I have no further idea. This could be compatibiltity issue with microsoft platform.

Maybe can open a case with Microsoft, because ntdll.dll is from Microsoft, not SAP.

some registry cleaning program, to scan all your dlls, identify and eliminate problematic dlls, could be helpful....probably.

I resolved this by upgrading from SAP kernel 80 to 200.
