My installer program is crashing due to exception: 0xE0434352


I used Visual studio installshield to create an installation program and sent it to the server. When I tried to run the application on the server I get the following Microsoft windows message:

{” Myapplication has stopped working”
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”}

When I click the Debug button. I get the following exception: [There is an unhandled win32 exception occurred in Myapplication.exe [6620]]

When I click debug using the selected debugger which is New instance of Visual Studio 2008 Microsoft visual studio threw the following exception: [Unhandled exception at 0x76effd1e in Myapplication.exe: 0xE0434352: 0xe0434352]

Can someone help, please? I have no clue what any of this exception and error means.


Solution

  • I found the resource's to solving this exception here @ stackoverflow, as suggested by @kynrek or rephrase by @kynrek,

    By adding a handler for “AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException as described here @

    @kynrek should have credit for this answer.

         Public Class Form1
            Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
            AddHandler currentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf MyHandler
            Try
    
            Catch ex As Exception
                ErrMsgTextBox1.Text = (ex.Message)
            End Try
    
        Private Sub MyHandler(sender As Object, args As UnhandledExceptionEventArgs)
             Dim e As Exception = DirectCast(args.ExceptionObject, Exception)
             ErrMsgTextBox1.Text = (e.Message)
        End Sub 'MyUnhandledExceptionEventHandler
    End Class
