STATUS_SXS_EARLY_DEACTIVATION STATUS_SXS_MULTIPLE_DEACTIVATION

STATUS_SXS_INVALID_DEACTIVATION

The DeactivateActCtx function deactivates the activation context corresponding to the specified cookie.

BOOL DeactivateActCtx(
  [in] DWORD     dwFlags,
  [in] ULONG_PTR ulCookie
);

[in] dwFlags

Flags that indicate how the deactivation is to occur.
Value Meaning
0
 If this value is set and the cookie specified in the ulCookie parameter is in the top frame of the activation stack, the activation context is popped from the stack and thereby deactivated.

If this value is set and the cookie specified in the ulCookie parameter is not in the top frame of the activation stack, this function searches down the stack for the cookie.

If the cookie is found, a STATUS_SXS_EARLY_DEACTIVATION exception is thrown.

If the cookie is not found, a STATUS_SXS_INVALID_DEACTIVATION exception is thrown.

This value should be specified in most cases.
DEACTIVATE_ACTCTX_FLAG_FORCE_EARLY_DEACTIVATION
 If this value is set and the cookie specified in the ulCookie parameter is in the top frame of the activation stack, the function returns an ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error code. Call GetLastError to obtain this code.

If this value is set and the cookie is not on the activation stack, a STATUS_SXS_INVALID_DEACTIVATION exception will be thrown.

If this value is set and the cookie is in a lower frame of the activation stack, all of the frames down to and including the frame the cookie is in is popped from the stack.

[in] ulCookie

The ULONG_PTR that was passed into the call to ActivateActCtx. This value is used as a cookie to identify a specific activated activation context.

What is SxS

Side-by-side assembly (SxS, or WinSxS on Microsoft Windows) technology is a standard for executable files in Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, and later versions of Windows that attempts to alleviate problems (collectively known as "DLL Hell") that arise from the use of dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) in Microsoft Windows. Such problems include version conflicts, missing DLLs, duplicate DLLs, and incorrect or missing registration. In side-by-side, Windows stores multiple versions of a DLL in the WinSxS subdirectory of the Windows directory, and loads them on demand. This reduces dependency problems for applications that include a side-by-side manifest.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 employ SxS with all C runtime libraries. However, runtime libraries in Visual C++ 2010 no longer use this technology; instead, they include the version number of a DLL in its file name, which means that different versions of one DLL will technically be completely different DLLs now.

SxS is also the technological basis for registration-free COM activation. Only in-process COM servers may be activated this way.
