How can I debug an application on a Windows 98 computer when as soon as the
application starts I get a runtime error. This is before anything starts or
happens and there is no details to the error. I think it is because there
is a missing DLL or something. I have both the .NET 1.1 framework and the
J# framework installed.

It would be really nice to figure out what is missing but I'm not sure how
to do this with a .NET application. I would use depends on a normal Windows
app or dll, but I did this on my exe and it kept showing some strange DLLs
and every time I placed that DLL it kept getting worse.

Thanks,

I don't think this is going to help.

When I run the application I get this right away:

-------------------------------
BOISE.EXE - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xfffd31bf (-183873), Thread id=0xfffe62f7 (-105737)

Clock OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
--------------------------------

I have seen this before with another application because not all the
required DLLs where there or they were out of sync; however I have just
copied over the debug directory of my application to the 98 computer and
just tried to run the EXE. If I copy this to an XP computer it runs fine.
How can I figure out what is missing? I have tried to debug using remote
debugging but it didn't seem like it was working because I think the error
is occurring when it is looking for a required DLL.

That helped me figure it out. What a great tool. I am very glad it is part
of the SDK. Good going Microsoft.
