An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception filter

[Patricia Kline]

as soon as i open certain projects, a dos prompt appears with the title
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net\frameworksdk\\bin\mscordmp.exe
(there are two \'s between frameworksdk and bin). the dos prompt says:

microsoft <r> comman languange runtime minidump utility. version 1.0.3705.0
copyright <c> microsoft corporation 1998-2001. all rights reserved.

then the microsoft developement environment dialog box appears that states:
microsoft development environment has encountered a problem and needs to
close... etc

when i click to see what data this error report contains... the error
details are: An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception
filter.

the error signature is:
AppName: devenv.exe AppVer: 7.0.9466.0 ModName: dpdpl.dll
ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 00029496

I have sent the error report but usually i just click dont sent, and my
project is never opened. what can i do see i can avoid this error?

I think you are opening a deploy(setup) project, right? It appears to be an
internal bug of visual studio 7. If you sent the error report, it will be
investigated by VS team, and VS team will try to fix them in the future
version of VS. If the problem always happens on one project, and blocks
your work. You possibly want to post it, so we can try to locate the
problem, and possibly a work-around.
