I've just downloaded again the Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.NET 3.5, 3.0 & 2.0 application developmet web server and it crashes on startup.

The windows System event viewer just reports:
The UltiDev Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 2.0 service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

(3 times since I did try to restart via the Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services).
Sometimes, if i restart i can see the Cassini app manager page briefly
http://localhost:7756/ApplicationDetails.aspx.
then windows will popup with an
"Unhandled exeption ('System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception') occurred in UltiDevCassinWebServer2a.exe[ 5176].
Then the web service dies (http://localhost:7756/ApplicationDetails.aspx can no longer be accessed).

I do have several dev tools on my machine (e.g. Visual Studio 6 & 2008, etc).
I'm running on Windows XP SP3 with .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 frameworks.
And I have apache and IIS installed.

How can I fix this?
Is there a Cassini log file I can open up to know the cause of the problem?

Thanks!

Hi!

UltiDev Cassini logs to Windows Event Log (Application). Please see if there are any relevant entries there.

Hi,

There's nothing in the application event logs related to Ultidev errors (the only one I saw was in the System Event Log)
Surprisingly, I just tried installing again today... and it worked! This is a concern since I did not do anything specific to fix it. :(
The only things I recall doing differently was:
1. Restart the Windows XP machine;
2. Uninstall UltiDev (for Visual Studio 2008)
3. Install UltiDev (for Visual Studio 2005-yes the older version)
4. Same result. UltiDev crashes
5. Uninstall UltiDev
6. Hibernated my XP machine (because I gave up my test for the day).
7. Got my XP machine up running again and reinstalled UltiDev (for VIsual 2008) for the Nth time.
8. Now it works.

Question:
Any reason why it's working now?
Would like to know the possible causes for my initial problem (Ultidev crashing on startup). Thanks!

Hi!

We are sorry, this kind of crash is not one of the known issues. Usually UltiDev Cassini is pretty good about logging stuff before dying. Cassini for VS 2005 and 2008 use the same runtime, literally same binaries, so the server and installer itself is the same code base. Usually our little web server is pretty reliable and most crashes are caused by two classes of problems: system DLLs removed from the system or customer applications crashing. There are some known installer issues on Vista/Win 7, but unfortunately this time we are unable to tell what was causing the problem.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.
