Hi,



I had thought that I already submitted this but cannot find it. Forgive me if it is a dup.

We have a Windows Desktop VB.Net app that invokes (via the Shell command) another VB.Net app several times. This app uses word to convert an RTF file to PDF then Outlook to email it.

After the customer upgraded to Office 2016 from 2013 the program only does about 7 until it Gets and error 429 0x8008005 CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE. The first 7 worked fine.

The customer says that he sees the 7 WinWords in the task manager. They never seem to end.

So is there a new limit on how many Words can be invoked?
Why doesn't the WinWord task ever end?
What can I do to fix it?
