JIT debugging and remote debugging

[keen2know]

I have deployed my application and it is causing an exception on the target machine. It comes up with an unknown exception and prompts to start a JIT Debugger. It then says:

Registered debugger not installed.

I have looked for the debugger "cordbg.exe" and it is not installed on the machine. It appears as though you have to install VIsual studio to have it installed correctly. The machine wouldn't fit Visual studio on it, so that is not an option.

I have also tried to remote debug the problem by attaching to the executable image. This gives an error from within Visual Studio - "Unable to attach to the process. Debugger not properly installed. Run setup to install or repair the debugger".

Does the remote machine need Visual Studio Installed? Is there any way of installing a JIT debugger without installing the whole of Visual Studio?

Many thanks in advance

JJ

Make sure you built your app in release mode rather than debug mode. Check your configuration manager.
