New Version causes .NET Framework error

[Norbert T.]

Hi,

I really appreciate the tool and your efforts in providing it. I use this all the time and cannot do without.

After I upgraded from 2.0.3.21514 to Version 2.0.4.25075 I get a .NET Framework error object reference not set to an instance of an object. The full error text is at the bottom. I can click on [Continue] and I get an empty UI. If I check the box at the bottom it will continue.

When running Browser Chooser 2.exe directly (not via a URL) it detects all browsers and shows them in the UI

I already tried cleaning the registry for any old references and removed the BrowserChooser2Config.xml but the error keeps coming

I had to go back to the previous version, that keeps bugging me to update

Thanks again for your efforts.

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

** JIT Debugging ** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

For example:

<configuration> <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /> </configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can you please provide you BrowserChooser2Config.xml file. It can be found in %appdata%\Browser Chooser 2. You can also try with --log at the command line and provide the log file. I will be written to the same folder that you run BC2 from.

Finally, you can disable checking for updates from the settings -> settings -> startup -> Automatically check for updates

[Norbert T.]

I've attached the files as requested.

I also got the auto update to work, at first it would not save the setting, but it does now.

[guy]

I found the reason for this error. I will release a quick update this weekend.

[guy]

Fixed in version just out now.

[Norbert T.]

Thank you.
