I keep getting the error box in .NET Framework about JIT Debugging. It begins "An unhandled exception has occurred...". Then, "To enable just in time (JIT) Debugging, the config file for this application must have the Jit Debugging value set in the system, windows form section. The app must also be compiled with debugging enabled." How do I get these changes made? I have installed Windows Debugger program, but it asks for a decimal number for the program, XSitePro, which is not shown on the Task Manager, which is where it says it is shown. Please advise how to get the debugger to work.

Why are you trying to debug the retail release of a program to begin with?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. The program, XSitePro, is my website building program. I am unable to use it because of the Debugging problem. Is that not clear?

Well, no. Unless you're a programmer, you don't debug. Ever. It could be crashing, in which case Windows will allow you to debug if you have the tools, but that doesn't mean you SHOULD or that you'll gain anything by doing so.

Razor2.3: I have been using the website building program for over a year, but recently got the JIT Debugging message, telling me how to Debug the program, so I can use it again. It sounds like a normal process, but I have problems following the instructions from Google. I need someone who knows how to follow those instructions. I am not a programmer, and I need to debug to continue using my program. The program was crashing and the Just In Time (JIT) debugger needs to fix it. Maybe there is another person in your group who has done this before, and could instruct me on how to use the Windows Debug program I downloaded?

Oh, I have a basic idea of HOW to use the debugger. At least how to use it to find why a PC is BSOD'ing. A debugger is a tool, like a socket wrench. If you don't know how to use a socket wrench, then having said tool does nothing for you. The skill set required to debug is that of a programmer.

But if you really want to look at a bunch of hex digits, who am I to stop you? When the program crashes and you get your error dialog, there should be an option to debug. If not, you'll have to do the following:

1) Launch WinDbg
2) Press F6 to Attach to a Process...
3) Select the process from the list.
3.1) If you don't know what the process is, launch the Task Manager, and go to the Applications tab.
3.2) Then select the program from the list, right-click, and select Go To Process
3.3) You should now be on the Processes tab. The selected item is the process you're searching for. Look for that Image Name in WinDbg's list.

Thank you. I will try that.
