Crash when Right-Clicking or Creating a New Folder in the Open \ Save dialog

I wanted to describe a crash in Revit 2012 & 2013 that was resolved with the Revit 2013 Update Release 1 \ 2 that some users have reported:

The underlying cause is while in the Revit file navigation dialog (such as opening a file or doing a save-as) you do one of 2 things:

• Create a new folder (right-click > New > Folder)
• Right-click and then click ‘Cancel’ out of the file dialog

Revit could potentially crash with an unrecoverable error:

This was resolved as part of the Revit 2013 Update Release 1.  If you’ve ever experienced this behavior I would highly recommend confirming the Revit 2013 update release 2 has been installed (lots of other good improvements with the second release).  If you need the links they are available via our previous post:
