MVP - please help - JIT debugger on XP .NET v1.1

[Valerie Hough]

I have a C# .exe running on .NET v1.1 that works on 2 of my 3 identically
configured DELL XP SP1 machines, but crashes on the 3rd.

When I press the cancel button (to debug) I get the message:

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

cordbg.exe !a 0x5d4

All my other .NET .exes on this machine work except this one, and they are
all in the same directory and share some or all of the supporting DLLs.

Is there a debugger available, and if so, how do I get it to attach to my
crashing process? If not, where can I download one and how do I set it up ?

Thanks in advance,
Valerie Hough

Hi,

That mean that a debugger was not found, and frankly I believe it will not
help you, do this, compile the app in debug mode and copy both the .exe and
the .pdb file to the machine, if it's a command app run it from the command,
not from the explorer, it should give you the details of the exception, that
is what you want after all.

tip, when you get the exception click on the details button ( bottom left)
and paste here the complete text, it will tell what was wrong.

Cheers,
