Preview your winntbbu.dll setup screens!

[jcarle]

You can use my new utility XPreview posted in this thread to preview your winntbbu.dll without having to mess around with vmware and winnt32.exe, etc...

Enjoy!

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 machine (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 machine

rather than being handled by this dialog.

My own work fine

I'll code in some more error checking routines tonight and possibly add some debug output to help figure out where the problem lies. Maybe there's an invalid bitmap in the file.
