.NET program closes at startup: "Unhandled exception"

[pstein]

When I start occasionally .NET programs the close immediately after start. Just a simple error box appears informing me that "xxxxxxprogram has stopped working".

I installed .NET 2.0 3.0 3.5 and 4.6.2 here on 64bit Win 7.
Not all .NET programs are affected.

As an example one of the problematic programs are the free program "TailforWin" available here:
Releases . tualatin/tailforwindows . GitHub

When I open the event logs I can see two entries:


EventID 106
Application: TailForWin.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code e0434352, exception address 000007FEFDAEA06D
Stack:

and

EventID 1000
Faulting application name: TailForWin.exe, version: 1.0.5898.21900, time stamp: 0x56cd8f89
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.23539, time stamp: 0x57c99bd4

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: 96652ddb-ebb5-11e6-94f2-005056c00008


So whats wrong?

Hi Pstein,
Hope you've got a VB C++ (20XX) application in your list of progs.
