I just got some feedback of some users of our application, they have got issues on windows XP with our application. This application works fine on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP.
One other strange thing: If I build this on a Windows XP workstation(with VS2010), it works on my local workstations, and if I put this build on another XP workstation, it doesn't work anymore.
When running on XP, I just got an error telling me that XXXXX has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I found in the EventViewer Application's log this stacktrace:
Application: MyApplication.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

This happens on the InitializeComponent of the designer of one of my userControl:
this.m_learingResourceBrowser = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser();
I guess there a Security issue with XP, but what?
I found this:
REM Mark project as DEP Noncompliant
call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\editbin.exe" /NXCOMPAT:NO "$(TargetPath)"
I've put this Post-build event on the exe project, but I didn't saw any improvement
I've also tried to run directly the command with my exe:
editbin.exe /NXCOMPAT:NO YourProgram.exe
Any idea about what could cause this issue?
EDIT
I found this answer which states:
To test if its a DEP issue do this.
Right click on "My Computer" Select "Properties" and "Advanced" Under
"Startup and Recovery, click Settings Now click on "Edit" The notepad
has just begun. Simply replace the line: Code: noexecute optionn by
AlwaysOff Restart your PC to complete the transaction.
And I after this I don't have this error anymore. So my question is: currently I've done the previous operation only on the main exe. Should I do this operation on all dll? Because my project is composed of more than 230 projects, so it would be hard to test everything.

I have this issue where some of the projects I created for.Net6 throws the error shown in the image attached
In this instance the project was running fine, suddenly, the error started to pop up. I have tried to find a solution by myself and on the internet.
I have used different IDEs VS 2022, ReSharper, VS Code, and the error persists.
This started when I installed VS 2022 and .Net6 SDK. Was formally using VS 2019.
Any help?
So, what I have done so far was to do a system reset. Everything was working well until a couple of hours now. I tried to use CMD as admin to run. I would like to point out that I have a couple of projects on the solution, but one keeps throwing this error.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (5): An error occurred trying to start process 'C:\Users\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\source\repos\ProjectTemplate2022v3\src\Skoruba.Duende.IdentityServer.Admin\bin\Debug\net6.0\Skoruba.Duende.IdentityServer.Admin.exe' with working directory 'C:\Users\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\source\repos\ProjectTemplate2022v3\src\Skoruba.Duende.IdentityServer.Admin'.

I had the same problem and later figured out that Windows Security (Defender) was blocking the executable.
Go to Windows Security -> Virus and Threat protection settings -> Exclusions and add your exe to the exclusion list.
I just had the same problem. Quick fix for me to get it to run is to run using "IISExpress".. See below picture.
I run into the problem where VSCode prompts
Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly
For a C# project created using console template; when I debug it by pressing "F5" key.
I do not have any problems in compiling the project.
I have performed dotnet run on the project folder. I see the "Hello World" printed on the command prompt without any problem.
My version strings
VSCode : 1.14.2
dotnet : 2.0.0-preview2-25407-01
C# extn : 1.11.0
OS : Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 (Windows 7 - 64 bit)
I do not have any info in event log.
How do I tackle this error?
[Update]
OmniSharp debug server is exiting/closing when they are launched suspiciously!
Where do I collect the log for the OmniSharp debug server?
I do not have anything printed on my Output window in VS Code. I do not even see OmniSharp log source in the Output filter dropdown.
[Additional information]
Noted same error when I run the application in non-debug mode as well using "Ctrl+F5" key.
Browsed VS Code's source code in github; the error message appears when debug server is not in disconnected state while exiting the server. Pursuing further on building a call graph, onServerExit are called
1. close event of the socket create in [connectServer] (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/fbece01268f4e5d290a470b328eea6312069eda0/src/vs/workbench/parts/debug/electron-browser/rawDebugSession.ts#L433)
2. exit event of the debug server process launched in [startServer] (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/fbece01268f4e5d290a470b328eea6312069eda0/src/vs/workbench/parts/debug/electron-browser/rawDebugSession.ts#L437)
Now my question gets refined to why is the debug server exiting / closing when they get created?
Could this be due to permissions or port numbers or something else? Where should I look for such problems in my machine?
I have an application written in C#. This application is locking by windows, return something like: "The xxx application has stopped working".
Is it possible to get the reason for this crash? I tried using try{} catch{} throughout the application without success. It works on my computer, but not on my friend's computer.
Both computers have same configuration:
Windows seven 7 ultimate 32 bits
Processor:2.13ghz
memory ram: 2gb
UPDATE
Well, in the event log of computer of my friend I found some details of the crash:
Faulting application name: xxxx.exe, version: 1.0.0.0,time stamp:0x4eb5e63a
Fault Module Name:KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16850, time stamp:0x4e21132b
Exception Code:0xe0434352
Identification of the process that failed: 0x26c
Start time of the faulting application: ...
Faulting application path: ... \xxx.exe
Path F module failures: C:\Windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report ID: xxxxx-yyyy-dddd-dddd-aaaaaa
UPDATE 2
Finally,I found the function that is causing the exception.
handling the function with try {} catch (Exception Err) {} I found some details of exception:
Err.Message:The device is not ready
Err.Source: mscorlib
how can I fix it?
"Works on my machine" is a very common problem with a myriad of causes. Generally the reason is that something is different between the two machines. Some easy things to rule out:
is your friend's computer a development machine, with Visual Studio installed?
does your application rely on a particular path (for example, a D: drive), a database, a service, a COM component, or something else that an install package should be including?
has your friend configured UAC differently from you? Does one of you sign on as the account Administrator, while the other uses another account that is in the Administrators group?
did you test a debug version on your friend's machine? debug versions usually aren't redistributable
did you test version x of the exe and version y of some class library, forgetting that you made a change to one of them yesterday?
do you and your friend have different versions of IE, Office, or some other component that may be used by the app? Do you have different IE settings (eg proxies?)
are the two computers both completely caught up on updates and service packs?
is the application trying to access some hardware (microphone, web cam) that is not on your friend's machine or is importantly different between the two machines?
The literal answer to your question is yes, you can sign up for something called Windows Error Reporting and get the reports that the dialog says it is collecting. However I sincerely doubt that you want them. You should have all the information you need to find the error right where you are. Concentrate on what is different (even if you think it's irrelevant) between the two machines.
Most likely it is a missing dependency. Double check to make sure that your program is installing all of the Dll's that it needs. I have run into similar problems usually with an .ocx file not being properly registered or not present.
As far as your question goes try using the MDbg.exe file from the .Net Framework SDK or Visual Studio. Microsoft also has other debugging tools available.
I need to uninstall a Windows Service I have created, but I get this error using the "Uninstall or change program" program in windows:
Error. An exception occurred while
uninstalling. This exception will be
ignored and the uninstall will
continue. However, the application
might not be fully uninstalled after
the uninstall is complete. -> The
event log source '111 My Service'
cannot be deleted, because it's equal
to the log name.
Then I click "OK" and the program remains listed in the list of installed programs. What is worse, I cannot install a new version of it. The windows installer says that another version of this product is already installed and I should uninstall it first. How do I get rid of this program?
Update Here is what is happening when I run InstallUtil.exe /u command on it.
The uninstall is beginning. See the
contents of the log file for the
C:\MyService.MyService. assembly's progress. The file
is located at
C:\MyService.MyService.InstallLog.

Try to execute next command in cmd:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe /u "c:\myservice.exe"
The second option is:
sc delete <service name>
After running the line above you can try to remove the service branch as well in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
The accepted answer didn't work for me.
What worked is open regedit in administrator mode and find the service and delete it.
I had the exact same problem (and nothing in the selected answer worked).
Surprisingly, what fixed the problem was (using the standard "Uninstall or change program" or "Programs and Features" windows dialog) right-clicking on the program and choosing repair (this was apparently successful), and then uninstalling.
This just happened to me and the solution above didn't work where you run the InstallUtil.exe or delete the service. I had initially set up my service with the "LocalSystem" security context, and it was installed with that. I later changed the security context to "User" and recompiled the service executable and tried to uninstall the old service. The error messages were coming up that are described here, and once I went and changed the security context back to "LocalSystem" I could fully uninstall.
In other words, you might want to uninstall your old service with the executable it was created with rather than a newer one with possible modifications.
As the title says, VS2008 keeps crashing on me whenever I debug a project when a certain form is open. I attached another VS2008 instance to it and found the following exception to be the culprit:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException occurred
Message="Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))"
Source="mscorlib"
ErrorCode=-2147418113
StackTrace:
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.NativeMethods.ThrowOnFailure(Int32 hr, Int32[] expectedHRFailure)
InnerException:
The problem I'm having is that I have no idea why this would happen. We use a few COM components (this is an old version of software I'm updating), but they don't cause any exceptions when the program is actually running, or when viewing design view normally. Only when I debug when the form is open. The program itself runs fine when debugging after VS's crash, but Visual Studio itself is hosed.
I know the simplest answer is to "make sure that form is closed!" but it takes forever to load and it's a much smoother workflow to keep it open (plus, I don't always remember to close it!)
So, has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
You could try to 'refresh' you IDE istallation by command line:
devenv.exe /setup
/setup - Forces Visual Studio to merge resource metadata that describes menus, toolbars, and command groups, from all VSPackages available.
or run it with detailed logging to see what's happened:
devenv.exe /log
/log - Starts Visual Studio and logs all activity to the log file.
