Error on Window Service profiling

Hi,

At first, I'am a french developper and my english is not very good.

I have a trial version of Ant Profiler 2.7.0.109,
I want to profile performance for a .Net Windows Service but, when I click on the "Next" button, i have the following error :


The given path's format is not supported.

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.

On my PC I have :
.Net frameworh 1.1 and 2.0
Windows XP SP2

How can I resolve this problem.
Thank.

Damien.

    Hello Damien,

    This happens infrequently but it involves an image path in the registry that Windows cannot resolve because it is corrupt or has invalid characters.

    ANTS Profiler needs to examine all of the services configured on the computer to find out if they are .NET managed code, so even if the service is not the one that you want to profile, you may still get this error. It may be possible to find the offending registry entry by running a Windows Script. I will post that here:
    'ListImagePaths.vbs
    'Print out all services and the paths to their executables
    Dim colServiceList 
    Dim obService 
    Dim objWMIService 
    Dim obFileSys
    Dim obFile
    Dim sPath
    Set obFileSys=CreateObject&#40;"Scripting.FileSystemObject"&#41;
    Set objWMIService = GetObject&#40;"winmgmts:" _ 
        & "&#123;impersonationLevel=impersonate&#125;!\\.\root\cimv2"&#41; 
       Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ 
            &#40;"Select * from Win32_Service"&#41; 
    ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
       For each obService in colServiceList 
          'Try to get the image path 
    Set obFile=Nothing
    
    WScript.Echo&#40;obService.DisplayName & " : " &obService.PathName&#41;	
    		
    
       Next 
    ON ERROR GOTO 0
    

    Once you have identified the service posing the problem, you can fix the image path by using regedit.exe and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service name>\ImagePath and setting this to a file path that can be resolved by Windows.
