************** 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.

Fixed problem by creating folder E:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log

I had run MP a couple of times without debug mode, but restarted and tried to use debug mode to get a log dump of a crash I was getting (which i can't now reproduce). I ran Media portal Debug mode to start MP. As noted above I solved the problem by creating the folder E:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log

Hi,
Yeah seems to be a hardcoded path which will crash on vista computers where log files are found in Users folder.

Quick turn around ++, will grab the SVN build and try it out.

 

[ronilse]

Hi,
gemx, can you set the build to x86, it crashes on x64 systems?

Regards
Roy

 

[gemx]

Done

 

[ronilse]

Hi,
Yup works now(private build), but for some reason it doesn't make in the SVN build....
