Launch Error, no data was collected

Launch Error, no data was collected

  Marc:
  
  There is no other error messages in the output window.  I have copied & pasted the output window below.  Yes, the report data looks *somewhat* correct.  I say *somewhat* because the call tree doesn't go any deeper than 1 branch, however the Allocation and Obects Lifetime pages are all appear to be fully populated. 
  
  It was done using instrumentation, however, I get the same error box using sampling.  The solution is a small project (6 class library projects, 1 unit test project, 1 windows form project, and a console app that is calling the class library functions.  The console app is the app that is being profiled)
  
  Running Beta 2, Windows XP Pro SP 2.  However, it is NOT a clean install of Beta 2 as I had the December CTP installed, but removed it before installing.  Over the next day or two I will try it on a clean install when I get another machine available.
  
  If there is anything else I can help with, let me know.

  I have not seen that particular behavior where there is a launch error and data is still collected. 
  
  Are there other error messages in the output window   Does the data in the report look correct   Was this in sampling or instrumentation mode
  
  Any other details you can provide about your scenario would be helpful for us tracking down a repro case.

  Lucky me.  :)
  
  Patrick, are you running in sampling or instrumentation mode  
  Do you get the same problem with memory allocation collection turned off  
  Does the data look valid when you open the report (the data looked somewhat valid to Bob)
  Have you tried the scenario on the command line
  What language are you using
  
  I'm trying to narrow down the sorts of scenarios that this problem seems to be happening on so we can better target a repro.
  
  Thanks for any details you can provide.

Have you tried instrumenting a simpler windows application (ie no dlls)   Have you tried running the instrumented version of the application from the command line to see if there is an error we are just not seeing (on that same note, check the application event log to see if there are any errors there) Are you using signed binaries (instrumentation breaks signing so they need to be resigned)   Have you tried the whole scenario from the command line Have you had any success with a clean machine Hopefully we can try to narrow down what the problem is to better identify it.  Thanks for you feedback.

  You are lucky today. I'm having the samen problem here. I'm running a heavy memory load network thread in Performance Explorer.
