************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

im using windows xp so cant right click and run as admin

i figured it out its ok my error had the prgram in the wrong drive sorry

Cptn

Still does not work ............. the confusion is relative to running as admin or not.
either way the target folder for the file is not USER\xxx\Desktop

IF I run it without admin it creates a folder on the user desktop as soon as I open the program. However, when I click a button it creates D:\DESKTOP and places the file in it. Nothing is ever places in the folder on the user desktop.

If I run as admin it will not create the folder on the user desktop when it opens. When I click a button it creates the D:\DESKTOP folder and places the file in it.

Hello Ruggb,

It sounds like it's running fine for you.

You're suppose to use "Run as administrator" on the tool for it to run properly. If you moved your user profile to D, then that is normal for it to place the folder on D:\Desktop when you click on a button to generate a report. Are you having any other issues?

Its still doing the same for me...it's acutally creating a folder/path on my D: which is: D:\Users\AL\Desktop
But at least I know where to look....

When you go to Start > Run > %Userprofile% what location does it open?

It opens "AL" folder which when I go to properties, is C:\Users...However, the tool results are getting sent to: D:\Users\AL\Desktop\SF_28-08-2012 instead...

I hope this helps you...I don't mind, as I know where it is now, but don't know why? and you might run in to this more as people start using SSD drives and change their folder target destinations....

I can allow you to get in my system via Team-Viewer if you want to look around..or I can send (PM) screen shots or something to you as well to help you out...but as for now, It don't bother me now, since I know where it is....

Thanks mate .. But it's hard to troubleshoot such cases since maybe there were 3 or 4 reported cases in past 2 year compared to over 1000 or more usage. It's very specific to environment. But thanks again for the feedback.

Roger That....anything I can do to help....
