I have a Winforms app that I've assembled an installer for using the VS
Installer. Everything builds fine, and I've tested it on XP and 2000
machines.

However, the installation target machines all have windows NT Workstation.
On my test NT machine (has the redistributable 1.1 installed and has been
rebooted several times), my install completes, but every time I attempt to
run the program, I get the following error:

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled"

I tried to use the HandleCreated event and the Load event to try to write
the exception to the EventViewer during the AppDomain.UnhandledException
event, but the above error still occurs, and no writing is done.

So I decided to install debugging on the NT workstation, and the above error
popped up during installation 6 times. It was raised by ngen.exe. I
completed the install anyway, and I still cant trap the error.

What are my options here? Thanks.
 
PS - when I try to fire the debugger after installing debugging support, the
following is thrown:

JIT couldnt be fired (paraphrasing)

then the line:
cordbg.exe !a 0xf3
 
Well I was able to redirect the stderr to an error log, but now all I've got
is "Fatal Stack Overflow"...
