I have a Windows service that is written in C++ using VS2008. I now want to debug that service remotely on my Windows Server 2008R2. But when I start the service I get an application error saying:

Faulting application name: MyService.exe, version: 1.99.96.0, time stamp: 0x4c87cf49
Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.4926, time stamp: 0x4a1743c1
Exception code: 0xc0000417
Fault offset: 0x0006c955
Faulting process id: 0x1c08
Faulting application start time: 0x01cb4f7fd91b5804
Faulting application path: C:\Services\MyService.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a\MSVCR90.dll
Report Id: 171b562c-bb73-11df-81e0-003048788541

When I start the same service in release build everything is fine. The service is build against Microsoft.VC90.CRT version 9.0.21022.8 and I have an embedded manifest.

What I figured out so far is that as I also have VS2010 installed on my development machine I do have 9.0.30729.4974 redist installed. And the W2k8 server does have the required x.x.x.4926 installed. But there is no debug version of x.x.x.4926 on the server so I think that might be the problem. Maybe something about missing symbols?

Does anyone have an idea? I’m kind of desperate as I really need to debug my service for checking an severe error.

    This has nothing to do with the CRT deployment, although it is mysterious that you got the debug build deployed. The code is simply crashing on a runtime error, raised by the _invalid_parameter() function. Which is called when a CRT function detects a critical problem with one of its arguments.

    The fact that it doesn’t happen in the Release build is no consolation, the Debug build is especially booby-trapped to cause errors like these so you don’t have problems with a Release build that occasionally crashes.

    You’ll need a debugger, it automatically breaks just before it goes kaboom.
