Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Hi

I have a 3 x MS 2008 R2 standard servers in my webfarm and the operation 'RunRemote' fails with a memory corrupt error.

I decided to check using msdeploy directly using the following command on my primary server:

"c:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:apphostconfig="WebSiteName" -dest:apphostconfig="WebSiteName",computername=targetserver -enablelink:apppool -whatif

I get the following error:

Error: (2012/11/19 04:33:10 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
Error: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Error count: 1.

using the previous msdeploy version ("c:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe") works.

I version is Version 7.1.1070.1

I have googled this errors but so far it seems as if there is a bug in this msdeploy version and it has never been fixed. If anyone knows of a workaround it would be greatly appreciated.
