You could look at the code in assembly and see where it is going wrong. You
could also separate the two functions:

if(!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) {
   TRACE0("Failed to create");
   return -1;
}
if(!m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
{
   TRACE0("Failed to init indicators");
   return -1;
}

And then you would know which one is causing the grief.

Inside CMainFrame I have some code that I believe was generated by the
framework. It does the Create and SetIndicators for the status bar.

if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||
!m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,
sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}

I have one user machine (XP SP2) that is crashing on startup. If I
comment out the return -1 this machine runs fine. (The status bar is
created(with the CAPS, NUM, and SCRL indicators).

I attempted to use message boxes to trace the flow but adding the message
boxes eliminates the crash. The same goes for writing to CFiles...and
attempting to put an endless loop just before the return -1. (The endless
loop does not execute).

The behavior seems to be that the return -1 is running even if the Create
and SetIndicators is working. - but not if there is any substantial code
before the return.

There seems to be something going on with the compiler (VisualStudio6
SP5). I was hesitant to post a question that is so vague but I saw some
related posts. There was nothing that matches exactly or will solve my
problem.

Please let me know if you have run into this problem or have any
suggestions.

Thank you.
