Enabling JIT Debugging: can NOT make this work.

[Jeff Stewart]

I have tried all of the following things to get JIT debugging to work for my
Windows Forms application:
* Checked all available options under Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time
* Checked "Generate debugging information" under Project
Properties/Configuration Properties/Build, Debug configuration
* Created a .exe.config file and selected it in Properties/Configuration
Properties/Deployment, Debug configuration -- I created this file by adding
an Application Configuration File to my project, then adding the line,
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />. I named the file <assembly
name>.exe.config.
* Built the solution using the Debug configuration

But when I run the app and cause the exception that started this adventure,
the standard exception handler dialog appears, with no "Debug" button, and
the familiar instructions on how to enable JIT debugging.

What am I missing?

Hi Jeff
It depends on your environment and on what kind of application do you have
