On a customer’s computer, my application immediately crashes with the message “Application.exe has stopped working”.
I’m using .NET Framework 2.0.
I’m using a catch-all exception handler in the Main method.
The main method doesn’t use any of the project assemblies. Therefore, if it was a missing assembly, this exception handler should get called.
I do not have access to the client computer. How can I debug this problem?
Compile your application in Debug mode, give it to the client, hopefully next time it happens the JIT debugger will kick off and give you a stack-trace.
You could also look at increase your logging verbosity. Using something like Nlog and some logging goes far to detecting issues. Have a peek at the nlog tutorial. Logging is something which is massively underused in most development tasks today 🙁
