Quizmaker 09 Unhandled Exception Problems

Mar 15, 2012

I hope someone here can give me better insight on what exactly is going wrong then the actual support from Articulate.

Quizmaker 09 is giving me Unhandled Exception errors when I want to create a survey or quiz. The error is below. I've already uninstalled both the whole Studio 09' suite, .Net Frameworks, rebooted, and installed each one by one and the same issue happens. I've also went into %appdata%\Arcticulate and deleted the Shared, and also deleted the Quizmaker folder just so everything gets reset. The problem STILL HAPPENS.

Support keeps telling me to reinstall. Of course that's the solution! Why didn't I think of that? Please someone on this forum give me some things to try out.

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 computer (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 computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.
