"an exception that could not be handled"

Post by allenfarquhar » Mon Apr 28, 2008 6:29 pm

I just installed Vault client (3.5.1, from our server/vaultservice).

I am getting this error:
VaultGUIClient.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x638(1592), Thread id=0x62c(1580).

I uninstalled, searched for vault client cache at %USERPROFILE%\Local settings\Application Data\etc. (none found), removed Vault client entries from registry, rebooted, and tried to reinstall. Same problem.

I am running MS Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates on a Pentium M, 2 GHz.

At what point in using the client do you get this error?
Are you able to view the information under Help->Technical Support?
If so, post that info here.

Startup

I get the error at the startup of the client before I am able to do anything.

Perhaps client-side logging will help:

http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=1534

Note, you won't be able to use the shortcut logging, since you can't launch the client, but modify the VaultGUIClient.exe.config to enable logging. Log All classes.

Also, could you post a screenshot of the crash error?

modified VaultGUIClient.exe.config

I attempted to turn on logging for all classes, but I was not able to find any log file.

Hi See if he can run the vault.exe help ,

This looks like a problem with the .NET Framework. Vault 4.x uses the 2.0 Framework.

Can you run the Vaut Command Line Client? As a test, from a command prompt, CD to the Vault GUI Client directory and type "vault.exe help" (no quotes).

Command line

Post by allenfarquhar » Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:45 pm

I invoked the command line client, resulting in an exception and the following output:

I'd suggest reinstalling the .NET Framework 1.1 on the machine.
