SQL Data Compare 12 ( 12.3.3.4490 ) - Unhandled Exception

Good Morning,

since I updated to 12.3 ( today ) I cannot Save or Save as any new SQL Data Compare Project.
The Exception information is shown below.

Hi - sorry to hear you're having trouble with Data Compare. Unfortunately this looks like a fairly generic crash report with not a lot of information, so this might be a bit hard to track down (exception code c0000005 means ACCESS_VIOLATION in unmanaged memory, which we don't really deal with much since we run almost completely managed .NET code).

There might be some things we can do to track down the source of this error, though. Do you see the same problem when saving projects in SQL Compare? Does repairing the SQL Data Compare installation (through Programs and Features in windows) help?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I forgot about the BR until today. The same problem, withing the same class ( System.Windows.Forms.FileDialogNative ) is thrown when saving also.

SQL Compare does not throw the Exception and Loads/Saves correctly.

Repairing did not help.
