Workaround
The crash is happening in the OLE32.DLLl function RegisterInterfaceInGlobal() when adding the BasemapLayer interface pointer to the global interface table (GIT). It is deemed appropriate to disable the GIT. Users can do this themselves with this call before calling initializeVisualBeans: System.setProperty("ARCGIS_NOGIT", ""); EngineInitializer.initializeVisualBeans();When setting ARCGIS_NOGIT, an updated VisualBeans architecture is used to manage interface pointers between threads, so the GIT is an old way to do the same task.This seems to only happen with BasemapLayer. RegisterInterfaceInGlobal crashes in ole32.dll on older machines such as Windows 98 if the interface being registered does not contain a proxy/stub. MainWin uses the old WinNT 4 code base for their version of ole32 so it is very likely the same issue.Steps to Reproduce
