Issue in MSHTML.dll in framework 4.7.2

Feluda123 1

I have an application developed in framework 3.5 where mshtml.dll was used and this app is running correctly. Currently we are trying to upgrade the app to framework 4.7.2 but it is getting crashed and the error is in MSHTML.dll as below.

Is there any solution to this?

Faulting application name: App.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0xc1951572
Faulting module name: MSHTML.dll, version: 11.0.18362.1977, time stamp: 0xe10245fd
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000001757b2
Faulting process id: 0x3a94
Faulting application start time: 0x01d80bc18ecc93a9

With which code ?
0xC0000005 is "Access Violation"
I never met any problem with MSHTML.dll in .NET Framework 4.7.2 (VS 2019, Windows 10 21H1)

Which MSHTML.dll version you are using? I am adding 7.0.3300.0.

The same one from Microsoft HTML Object Library

#region Assembly Microsoft.mshtml, Version=7.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
// C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.mshtml\7.0.3300.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Microsoft.mshtml.dll
