Yeah I think that error probably does come from the SLX integration. I see it occasionally because it sometimes takes a few seconds to get a proper network connection or something after I log in, possibly because my DC is 5000 miles away from my office.

More errors I understand that most people probably wouldn't because they should never have to!


That's an odd way of putting it, but that probably means the site is doing something in the background, like uploading a file. I get a similar error in Gmail all the time.


"Destructor" is programmer jargon. A destructor is what runs when a program is done with some object and needs to clean up. Probably what's happening is Quickbooks is trying to overwrite some temporary files for security, but the files are in use by Internet Explorer. Of course, that should not be happening. Quickbooks should be using its own temporary files and giving a meaningful warning if it can't delete something.

My gut feeling on this one is that Quickbooks uses IE as a rendering engine for some sort of rich content type stuff somewhere in the app, and so it's fighting with IE about who can do what, possibly relating to temp files like you guessed. Mostly based off the fact that they suggest changing the default browser.

I accidentally tried to save something into a directory the application had no rights for. I take it they didn't plan for that.

I've had something like that happen (but without anything in the dialog box, it was completely blank) when running a second instance of a particularly slow application before.

Yep. They told me to RMA a laptop for a driver issue. They spent 45 minutes or so uninstalling then reinstalling the relevant driver and then went "Yeah, ship it back".

Most likely it is programmed differently for Asian languages to support the extra characters. A better error would be this language %installed language% is not compatible with the version of .NET you are trying to install %supported languages%

Its still really stupid, also the fact that another program is throwing that error means they didn't give a poo poo about including all versions of .NET (assuming this is even the issue).

I'm also willing to bet you don't even work in Asia and just have one Asian language pack installed on that machine because someone wanted it so they could read emails from whatever country the language pack is and .NET is just flipping out about that.

If you Google that issue it seems to be some weird interpretation of an HRESULT and actually has nothing to do with Asia in the literal sense. Usually a missing pre-req by the looks of it.

Pretty hilarious anyway.

One of my favorite errors used to happen when I'd try to install PS2 EyeToy drivers on my various computers so I could have an impromptu "security system" in the upstairs of my house.

The title of the dialog box would be "Webcam install", and the body would just say "???". The options you could choose from were "OK", "???", and "No".

When McAfee crashes for any reason, it doesn't clear out it's systray icon, but it does restart itself and create a new icon. Hovering over the old icon makes it disappear.

That image was the result of leaving the PC idle for an hour.

Ambition is not a dirty word. Piss on compromise. Go for the throat.
I was working on an Android project that our company inherited as our client was not happy with their previous developers.

It was easy to tell why, the whole project looked like it had been c+p'ed from google and stack overflow.

The best gem I found in it was while I was looking through the strings file, there was a list of error messages and I found this cracker.

<string name="unknown_error">poo poo happens :)</string>

I even managed to get the application to reliably print this out, in an application that was already live. Needless to say I changed it quickly.

At work we have a dev who loves to write errors like this. Could not do {x} because {x} was unsuccessful. The way I tend to debug these is just ctrl+shift+F the source and figure out what the error should have been.
