"Exception Thrown In Destructor" error msg
-
Just got this kinda weird error msg, never seen it before and was wondering if anybody knows what it means.
-
sounds ominous....

what's vctools? maybe you need to reinstall that plugin?

Thing is, SU is working just fine.
You know what they say "if it ain't broke...."

C++ code bug. If it causes you problems, contact the developer of vctools.
(it would be better in the developers' forum, but I'll elaborate)
In C++ the programmer is responsible for allocating objects and destroying them when finished (manual memory management). A destructor is the method that cleans up an instance of a class when it is destroyed. This message is saying that the destructor for a particular class encountered an error and raised an exception. Usually this indicates a programming error such as destroying the wrong object or destroying an object for the second time. -
Steve, you'd better contact the plugin's author, you might get too many destroyed objects in your PC and you never know what wrong objects will follow next, maybe your room
.Just kidding, the explanation kind of made my day(I know it is a serious thing though) !
-
I would love to contact the plugin's author, but what the heck is VCtools? I've thoroughly searched my entire computer and cannot find anything.
Any ideas?
-
Here's a list of all my 2015 plugins/extensions. Don't see anything similar to what is referenced in the error msg.
I have stopped using SU on my main computer, using backup computer until this thing is figured out.
-
are you seeing the error on the backup computer?
vctools isn't a plugin, it's part of the software used to compile applications and C extensions...
I don't see any plugins in your list with a compiled extension, unless it's in Edge3d and used for exporting...

I assumed it was a plugin based on previous posts to this thread.
My real questions are - what might have caused it, how much should I worry about it, what sort of damage could it do, and is there anything I can do about it?
-
Well, I guess I'll just bite the bullet and hope for the best

Yesterday I searched the web a bit and it seems like your error is not directly related to Sketchup but mostly to VisualC ++ perhaps from here's the name vctools... https://www.google.ro/?gws_rd=cr,ssl%26amp;ei=Vfh3VY6QI8rB7Abh_YGIDA#q=vc7libs
Whenever you have an error or something just google it, you will be surprised.
I am usually not worrying about these errors, they come and go.
I have a little program called CCleaner and I run it from time to time fixing registry and cleaning temporary files, you should try it. -

that's one option...
if it pops up again, copy the actual message and post that, rather then just an image...I did a search on**(f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\mfc\filecore.cpp)** and there are some mentions of Trojans, but as the next line of the message then says that a certain file ( with the Chinese character in your image ) was not found, then nothing untoward could proceed...
It is in a SketchUp window so it does have 'something' to do with that instal, but it may just be a hitchhiker trying it's luck and failing...

A web-search for 'vctools' suggests that is a resource often used for hacking.
http://www.vctools.net/forum/
So it looks like you have a Virus or Trojan that is trying to latch onto SketchUp as you run it...
Luckily the author has made an error in his code and it's failing !
It could have come in from almost anywhere...
You need to search for and delete it - the path in the error message is spurious - it's not on your network, but relates to something used when the little bugger was compiled...
Use a reputable Anti-virus/SpyWare/Trojan removal app...
'CCleaner' can also be used to tidy up your Temp files and Registry...
