Error message

[David]

Hi.

For some reason, I have started to have trouble accessing one of my
applications. When I hit the icon to open it, I get:

"Application has generated an exception that cannot be handled:
Process id=0x1f8 (504), Thread id=0x12d0 (4816)

Click OK to cancel the application
Click CANCEL to debug the application"


And then by hitting CANCEL I get:

"Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT
debugger with the following commande resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2).
Please check computer settings.

cordbg.exe !a 0x1f8

Click on retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
Click on cancel to abort the JIT debug request."


I contacted the application owners, who said they thought it was a .NET
problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks
David

Thanks for the help, Jan.

The application is a program for aeronautical charts etc for Microsoft's
Flight Simulator X.

The owners, Navigraph (www.navigraph.com) told me I needed to uninstall all
my .net software and then just reinstall net 2.0 - they thought that might
fix it.

However, although I can disable NET 3 it wont uninstall because Vista tells
me it is part of the OS, and for some reason my old installation of NET 1.1
just won't go. I try to remove it from Control Panel / Programs & Features
and it shows me an uninstall button. Pressing that says the Windows
installer is preparing to remove and then the dialog box disappears, yet NET
1.1 stays in my list!

Dont really know where to go from here....

I'll hazard a guess that the vendor's staff has experienced problems with
..NET installations in the past -- but (as your next paragraph suggests) it's
an open question on whether they've ever tried their suggestion on a Vista
box. The next logical question is whether they've tried their product under
Vista.

And a suggestion that you uninstall all of .NET and then reinstall ONLY
2.0 -- even if it fixes the problem with Navigraph -- will by definition
break applications that require any other version...especially 3 or 3.5,
which is used by applications build with Visual Studio 2008. .NET version 2
supports applications built with Visual Studio 2005.

However, although I can disable NET 3 it wont uninstall because Vista
tells
me it is part of the OS,

Have you called them again since you experienced this?

I've not tried it in a Vista environment, but my introduction to the
obnoxious behavior of the .NET installers dates to the release of the .NET
1.1 update in security bulletin MS04-028, when a small but nontrivial number
of my users' systems refused to install the update. One of the systems
involved (running Windows 2000) was the one assigned to my department's
secretary; I spent most of a weekend fighting it with no success; .NET could
not be patched, repaired, reinstalled, or uninstalled.

The only thing that saved my sanity was that all of the systems which
encountered the problem were within a couple of months of normal lifecycle
replacement so I convinced the division managers to pony up new machines
(with Windows XP) for the affected users slightly earlier than planned.

..NET certainly has some nice features, but I really wonder how much
real-world experience can be claimed by the Microsoft people who design the
programs that install and update it.

So I am f*cked basically.

I have rewritten to Navigraph with my woes but I won't hold my breath.....
