Unhandled exception on startup....leading to Registered JIT debugger is not available.

Question

I have a program that is failing (unhandled exception) & gives:

Process id=0xa2c (2604), Thread id=0xa30 (2608)

 

Trying to Debug gives:

NotifyAlert.exe – No debugger found

Registered JIT debugger is not available.  An attempt to launch a Jit debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2).  Please check computer settings.

Cordbg.exe !a 0xa2c

 

I have seen these ids change, but aways get this error.

 

From other MSDN responses, I have looked up the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\AeDebug

• default - value not set
• auto - 0
• debugger - drwtsn32 -p %ld -e %ld -g
• user debugger - 0x00000000(0)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgJITDebugLaunchSetting

• \DbgJITDebugLaunchSetting doesn't exist in my registry

I have already tried:
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package  File Name: dotnetfx.exe Version: 1.1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en

then installed 2nd software
Microsoft Visual J# .NET Version 1.1 Redistributable Package File Name: vjredist.exe Version: 1.1

Bottom line - I need assistance in getting the correct debugger to run, and stop the program exception.  Thanks.
