How to fix the error: "The program has stopped working APPCRASH"

Question

I have a log and a catch attempt in this console application, but it doesn't seem to be that way.

Works fine on my dev machine, not on Win Server 2008. The event viewer has the same information as below.

I understand that there is not much here, but this is what I know. All previous deployments worked, so I don’t understand.

Please do not close and help me solve this problem. I will answer any questions that I can.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you have a top-level try / catch and it does not catch an exception, this is probably due to the fact that the error occurs at a very low level (for example, somewhere in your own code library) too early (before it starts) or to another thread (where your try / catch cannot reach).

To find out what happens, run the application under the debugger. If you have Visual Studio installed on the target machine, you can do it from there (open EXE and “Start Debugging”). If not, you can use windbg.exe / cdb.exe (available as Debugging Tools for Windows in the SDK Windows). Inside the debugger, you should see where the error occurred, since by default it stops on any fatal exception.
