The files are opened for read access (i.e. we intend to read the file
only, not write), with read and write share attributes (i.e. allow other
applications to open the file for read and write access).

I don't know why your application is crashing; you should check with the
author/vendor of that application. If they try to open the file for
exclusive use, perhaps that is why.... but I can not say for sure, since I
do not have access to that application's source code.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
