************** 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.

Launcher reinstall installed a 64 bit launcher and 64 bit dot net on a
32 bit windows xp pro running on an AMD 64 bit dual core 3800+ processor.
Now I just get a dialog box that says
"Launcher Initialization Error. Specified cast is not valid."

I didn't want to have to upgrade to windows vista 64 bit ultimate SP1
because I don't have the device drivers to support it.
I would have to give up my printer, webcam, and mp3 player
because there are no 64 bit device drivers for those. :(

I couldn't get any technical data because overwriting the 32 bit dot net
that visual studio 2008 installed with the wrong dot net, the 64 bit version
caused visual studio to not work anymore.
That being the case I can't debug the error.

Now I probably need to reinstall the operating system and everything else from scratch... :mad:
