I have a licensing issue when a kernel debugger is hooked up to the system while I'm opening Visual Studio (VC++) .NET 2005 + VA 1530 beta (or any other previous recent versions). Works great when not in remote debugging mode.
Problem: - Boot Win XP with remote debugging using 1394.
- Start VC++ .NET 2005 --> Breaks in the kernel debugger with message: %s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%sSingle step exception - code 80000004 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling. This exception may be expected and handled. 001b:0146bee2 834dfcff or dword ptr [ebp-0x4],0xffffffff
- I do GO (F5) on debugger I have a dialog box that pops: "The security key for this program currently stored on your system does not appear to be valid for this version of the program. Select Yes to enter a new key, or No to revert to the default settingg (if any)."
- I click "Yes" and a dialog prompts me to enter the registration information (name and key). The Name field is already filled with the good string. I enter the Key and a Box mentions that "Key is valid and has been stored.".
- I press "OK".
- Breaks in kernel debugger with message: *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for kmixer.sys Single step exception - code 80000004 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling. This exception may be expected and handled. 001b:01491f18 50 push eax
- I do GO (F5) on debugger I have a dialog box that pops: "General extraction error Location ES1".
I'm actually running into a similar error myself with VA X v 10.0.1230.0. I don't have access to all my version info right now since it won't load, but I'd love to hear if any resolution to this problem has been found. Instead of accepting and storing my key and then failing, it tells me that my key is invalid, even though I'm using the same key in this case that I used to register the product when I first installed it.
VA disabled with Kernel debugger
