Hi,

I'm having a weird problem over here.  When I'm adding an element through the content pipeline, VS C# 2008 Express close without any reason.  Adding a new or existing element makes no difference.  I tried dragging a file it does the same thing.

If I open a project that already have some items in the content pipeline, when I try to build it, VS C# Express closes.

Is there any known solution to this problem?

Thanks nick

That sounds like a corrupt hard disk, bad memory, or a corrupted file somewhere in your XNA Game Studio install or, perhaps, the content you're adding.

Try installing the .NET Debugger (or a demo copy of Visual Studio Pro) and using that to debug the Visual C# process itself. Once it's attached, add the crashing content item. See if you get a good exception description in the attached debugger, to see what's going wrong.

I reinstalled everything and it does the same thing. 

How the debbuger works?  I attached the process but it tells "Unable to show the machine code" or equivalent (translated from the french version).

Does this project reference any custom content pipeline assemblies?

No, I didn't play with the assemblies.  Anyway, I don't know how these work!

I've done a camstudio video of what's happening.

Here are the outputs from VS2005 Debugger.  Check the line that start with "CLR".

Windows a déclenché un point d'arrêt dans VCSExpress.exe. [In english, it written something like "Windows added a breakpoint in VCSExpress.exe"]

Cela peut être dû à une défaillance du tas et indique un bogue dans VCSExpress.exe ou l'une des DLL chargées. [In english, it says something like "might be due to a stack problem"]


Thanks for any help
