Re-Repost: How do we define the JIT debugger in registry???

[José Joye]

I'm trying to define on my production machine the JIT debugger to catch a
bug that only appear there.... :-((

I googled and had a look to MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/ht
ml/cpconenablingjit-attachdebugging.asp).

I'm still more than confused!

Here are my settings:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger\DbgJITDebugLaunchSe
tting = 2
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger\DbgManagedDebugger\
(default) = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VS7Debug\vs7jit.exe" PID %d APPDOM %d EXTEXT "%s" EVTHDL %d

I suspect my setting to be false. However, I could not find any example.

When the service crashes, I have the pop-up windows asking to press cancel
for debug. However, it has no effect

What's your value for the key DbgManagedDebugger under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\ ?

As stated in my post, setting are:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger\DbgJITDebugLaunchSe
tting = 2
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger\DbgManagedDebugger\
(default) = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VS7Debug\vs7jit.exe" PID %d APPDOM %d EXTEXT "%s" EVTHDL %d

José,

I'm talking about
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger, not
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger\(Defa
ult).

I see!

Currently I have nothing...
What should be in and what does this value means compared to the key having
the same name?

José,

I'm not really sure what's the purpose of that, and the documentation is not
very clear about this. However I remember reading how to setup the JIT
debugger in Jason Bock's "CIL Programming: Under the Hood of .NET"
(http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=88), and then I checked a
couple of computers to see how is currently configured.

In my case I have:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework]
"DbgJITDebugLaunchSetting"=dword:00000002
"DbgManagedDebugger"="\"D:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft
Shared\\VS7Debug\\vs7jit.exe\" PID %d APPDOM %d EXTEXT \"%s\" EVTHDL %d"
"InstallRoot"="D:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\"
"sdkInstallRootv1.1"="D:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\\SDK\\v1.1\\"
"PrevDbgJITDebugLaunchSetting"=dword:00000000
"PrevManagedDebugger"="D:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft
Shared\\VS7Debug\\vs7jit.exe PID %d APPDOM %d EXTEXT \"%s\" EVTHDL %d"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger]
@="cordbg.exe !a 0x%x"

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.

I will get back to the production machine ASAP to check it!
