Hello Burgy,

I'm Jim, one of the program managers on the SyncToy project.

We haven't seen the error you're running into in any other circumstances
yet. Do you know what version of the .NET framework you have installed? Do
other applications that use the .NET runtime work on your machine?

Thanks!

Actually, I didn't have any version installed (I think??) until SyncToy
asked for it on installation. I then installed
1.1 and after ST installation, ran Windows update and got an updated version
there. I don't know what that would be, but I assume it's the latest
available.

In light of the above, I don't think so.
How can I tell which version I have now?

Jim -

I'm having the same error. (Also a reference of not being able to start the
debugger) How can I find the version of the .NET framework I have installed?
I'd like to get that information to help you.

Hello Jim (and all),
I am having the same problem. The Event ID in the System Event Log is # 26,
but that's just the error window popping up if I'm right. There is no mention
of a Fault bucket or other specific info in the event Description.

According to Event Viewer the install was a success, but I did try a repair
w/o effect.

If one selects Cancel in the 1st SyncToy Error window, the follow on error
window always shows the offense as Registered JIT Debugger not
available....error code 0x2....
cordbg.exe !a 0x10c4

I have .NET 1.1 with SP1 installed, via/including the KB886903

My system (3.0GHz P4, 1GB ram, Asus p4c800e-dlx mobo, 0.6TB HDD) running XP
SP2 and Office 2003 (all patches to today's date prior to install of SyncToy)
and otherwise happy and stable.

To my limited knowledge, I am not specifically active using any other .NET
features at the time of the crash, as the host is running stand alone from
any corp net.

Any further advice or resolution appreciated.
-Jeff

I am also getting this error with no apparent .net 1.1 apps running. I tried
repairing synctoy thru the .net wizard interface but that did not change
anything. still having errors

Heh,heh,....Lol. I'm sure someone will get it resolved in time.
It just drove me nuts when I couldn't fix it. So I had to get it off my
machine, for now.

Actually, I guess I don't really understand what the .NET thingy is. I never
even had it installed until SyncToy setup asked for it. So I guess I don't
have any other .NET applications running. This is actually just a home
network with 2 machines, one with XP Pro and the other has 98SE. So, when
setup asked for the .NET, I installed it and updated it and then finished
the install of SyncToy. When it didn't run, I remove Synctoy, redownloaded
and reinstalled it. Still failed.
I suppose I could start all over and see what happens, but when I first
posted, there were a few other posters who had the same thing happen as me.
There was one tech or maybe two in the conversation, but then it dried up.
Guess they're lost too, or maybe there is such a small bunch of folks it's
not worth their time. Whatever, I lived this long without it. I'll get by.

;-) It looks to me like it might actually be more of a problem with your
.NET installation than SyncToy itself. Do you have other .NET apps
misbehaving?

Sorry I can't really help you. Try reinstalling the .NET framework
itself.

:-D

In oversimplified terms, if you were around (and using PCs) in the Windows
3.1 days, remember the old VB runtime files (VBRUNx00.DLL) you constantly
had to make sure you had installed on your machine, or else little crapware
programs would fail to launch ("could not find runtime file VBRUNx00.DLL" or
something similar)?

As far as the common user needs to be concerned, the .NET runtime is
essentially the same idea--it's a set of files you need to have in order to
run other third-party programs if those programs were written using the
language that is implemented by .NET. SyncToy is probably written in C#
(likely) or VB.NET (less likely)...any program written in either of these
languages require you to have the .NET runtime...IMHO, it's one of the
primary reasons you don't see an awful lot of .NET applications in the wild
because the end user is required to download and install a 20+MB set of
files, and the trend will continue until .NET ships with the OS itself.

Back to your specific problem...it's rather surprising if you've *just*
installed .NET along with SyncToy. There was a service pack released for
..NET 1.1 a while ago--go to Windows Update, and make sure you have it.
Other than that, I'm afraid nobody will be able to help you much beyond this
if you can only provide a process ID and thread ID (those change constantly
and are useless without a debugger or a crash dump, which in all likelihood
you don't have). If you still care enough to want to try reinstalling, and
if that crash dialog box presents you with the option to display more
information, then that additional information may be useful to someone else
more familiar with .NET's intricacies than I am.

I think SyncToy is rather nifty. I am running into my own problems with it,
but it's still Beta 1, so I'm hoping issues will be cleared up by the next
build. Don't give up on it completely until the final. :-)

BTW, you mentioned you have two systems...have you tried it on your second
machine?

Hi Jim

Could not run it eather and apparently it's because that performance
counters are disabled on my machine. Not sure why, but the following might
help.

System.InvalidOperationException

requested operation cannot be performed.
