I am having a problem with the CppCOMSample solution as follows:

1) I downloaded and installed the newest versions of the 32 and 64 bit API for COM users from https://gainfutures.com/gainfuturesapi/documentation as well as the newest version of the CppCOMSample solution.

2) I verified with regedit.exe that the libid key 20A98AD2-2C0F-4192-A53D-0F6189ED5B2B is pointing to the proper directories for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

3) I loaded the CppCOMSample with Visual Studio 2019 and built the 32-bit Debug application. When I run it and connect with my username and password, it connects properly and I am able to perform a Symbol Lookup operation with no errors. If I attempt to connect with a known incorrect username and/or password, CCppCOMSampleDlg::OnLoginFailed is called with failReason set to FailReason_InvalidUserOrPassword (0).

4) I built the 64-bit Debug version and executed it. When I attempt to logon, one of two things happens:
a) Most often, _Release() method in comip.h is called with a read access violation exception. I'll include the call stack at the bottom of this message.
b) Less often, CCppCOMSampleDlg::OnLoginFailed is called with failReason set consistently to 1366336 (decimal) - this bogus failReason code may be a separate and unrelated bug.

5) I get the same result for the 64-bit version when I attempt to logon with a known incorrect username/password.

6) Chris M. has verified that my account is valid.

Best regards,
Scott Watson

When the exception is thrown as described in 4a above, the call stack looks like:

Hello,

We have reproduced your issue. It looks like in x64, COM is not sending event arguments pointers correctly. We will investigate a fix.

Regarding 4b -- I suspect this is happening when you are debugging long enough that the API fails the heartbeat and disconnects.

An update has been pushed to the comapisamples repo to fix x64 event argument references. Please try again.
