Not able to assign a string to a string property in a defined struct

Recently we just updated to TestComplete 8 (8.70) from TestComplete 7. Our Test Scripts define structures with string properties, when we try to assign a string to all the string properties TestComplete 8 is crashing with Catastrophic Failure error. NOTE that this is only happening when we run our test in TestComplete 8 (On testcomplete 7 the test scripts runs without any problem).



Please help on how to fix this.



Thanks



I was able to reproduce with the following code:

Function Test1()

{

  var MyStructID =
DLL["DefineType"]("MyStruct",

                                  vt_lpstr,
"First",

                                  vt_i4,
"Second",

                                  vt_i4,
"Third");

 

  var A1 =
DLL["New"]("MyStruct", 2);

 

   

 
A1["Item"](0)["First"] = "Hello"  // Catastrophic error

 
A1["Item"](0)["Second"] = 200;     

 
A1["Item"](0)["Third"] = 300;

 
A1["Item"](1)["First"] = 101;

 
A1["Item"](1)["Second"] = 201;

 
A1["Item"](1)["Third"] = 301;

}

 

Function Test1()

{

 

 var MyStructID =
DLL["DefineType"]("MyStruct",

                                  vt_lpstr,
"First",

                                  vt_i4,
"Second",

                                  vt_i4,
"Third");

 

  var A1 =
DLL["New"]("MyStruct", 2);

 

 

  // This produce
catastrophic error   

 
A1["Item"](0)["First"] =
DLL["New"]("LPSTR", 256);

 
A1["Item"](0)["First"]["Text"] =
"Hello"

 
A1["Item"](0)["Second"] = 200;     

 
A1["Item"](0)["Third"] = 300;

 
A1["Item"](1)["First"] = 101;

 
A1["Item"](1)["Second"] = 201;

 
A1["Item"](1)["Third"] = 301;

 
A1["Item"](2)["First"] = 102;

}
