Error 85 e

Answer 1

There is another situation I encountered which triggered the error, that is a corrupted PNG file. I've used the sed command to globally replace some strings in the project folder, and it just replaced the (looks liked) windows line ending to UNIX one, which caused my image files corrupted.

So, maybe there are some bugs in the PNG parser of MFC library, which cannot handle malformed input files.
