Delphi install "broke" visual studio
delphi, visual-studio
Solution
I asume this long question was about the Just In Time Debugger. The JIT debugger will be invoked when an application crashes. The JIT debugger setting is saved in the registry in these locations.
I do not believe that this setting is the reason why your Visual Studio crashes. I have had several versions of Delphi and Visual Studio installed on the same machine without problems. And this setting only has affect when an application crashes outside of a debugger.
Problem
Recently I made a terrible mistake, I installed delphi 6 in my laptop, and chose yes when asked that really long question about the debugger... the result my Visual studio doesnt work anymore. I remember the fix for this was pretty simple, possibly a registry setting change. I can't remember tho. I tried loads of things to revert this state as I dont need delphi anymore but do need VS and would rather not have to reset all my dev environment again if i dont realy have to. I tried: - restoring to a Restore point (created one before installing Delphi) - VS in many states (devenv.exe /reset , devenv.exe /setup ...etc) In my event viewer I can see: ``` Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 10.0.40219.1, time stamp: 0x4d5f2a73 Faulting module name: clr.dll, version: 4.0.30319.239, time stamp: 0x4e181a6d Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00024e38 Faulting process id: 0x1468 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd35b33ad2193d Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\clr.dll Report Id: 7beb5eac-a1a6-11e1-93cc-00262256e631 ``` Cheers
