Visual Studio registry capture utility has encountered a problem

问题

I recently reinstalled my development machine and went from 32 bit Windows Vista to 64 bit Windows 7. I'm running VS2008.

Some of my .NET applications still use J#, which now causes problems. The program still runs, but when I want to deploy it (I'm using a setup project to create a .msi), I get this error:

"Visual Studio registry capture utility has encountered a problem"

How can I fix this? This error does not occur with other programs (those written purely in C#).

回答1:

Yes, this is a known bug with Win7 and VS2008, in creating an installer that exposes COM objects.

Here is the workaround

Thanks @RogerFraser for the tip as I was having the same problem

To solve.

Locate regcap.exe here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\Deployment
Right click and select properties.
Select Compatibility tab
Check box to Run this program in compatibility mode.
Select Windows Vista SP2 in the OS drop-down.
Click Ok and Recompile.

HTH.

This did not work for me until I came across this blog post where the poster looked at the debug information and found a buffer overflow error with long paths. I put the solution into C:\temp and I was able to compile it after following the steps posted by Noam and Kris. This was on a project upgraded from VS2005 to VS2010 on Windows 7 x64.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me, still getting the same error. Using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition, 64 Bit.

That's the error details (German only, sorry):
