VS 2003 debugger problem

[Marius Horak]

Hi,

Our technical support people decided that all PCs will have an
automatic Windows update.
The first such update was yesterday.
Today my global error handler (Application.ThreadException) does not
work any more.
In VS Debug mode the program stops at the error line with
Break/Continue.
In newly compiled programs Just-In-Time debugger is being called.
If I remove reference to StackTrace from my error handler, the EXE will
work as previously but will still call jitDebugger.
Removing StackTrace does not help when running in the Debug mode.
The old EXE still works fine and this suggests that my VS setup has
been changed somehow but I'm the only person here who could do it and I
didn't change anything. So I suspect that Windows update did something
to my PC.

Anyone having the same problems?

No, but you can review the list of automatic updates to see if .NET
Framework 1.1 SP1 or some security patch was installed, and try to remove
them to see if things work fine again. The first thing is to identify the
culprit...
