Error starting profiler

sgraham

I'm trying to run the Memory Profiler on an ASP.NET 3.5 web application. When I start the profiler, it brings up an IE window for my application, which then sends me to another login application and then back to the one i want to profile.

In the bottom left of the profiler i see "Waiting for connection", and whenever i try to take a snapshot or close the IE window, i get an error message saying "The web application xxxx has not loaded the .NET Framework. Please check that xxxx is an ASP.NET web application. Please note that accessing cached web pages will not load the .NET Framework."

I've tried running through both IIS and Cassini to no avail. I'm running under the SYSTEM account locally and added the 2 environment variables from this article with no luck: http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/C ... wledgebase\ANTS_Profiler\KB200708000140.htm

Here is some extra information if it helps:
.NET version - 3.5 (2.0 in IIS)
IIS version - 5.1
user - SYSTEM
operating system - WinXP SP2
ANTS version - 4.1.0.45

Please let me know if you can help or if you need any other information.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

sorry for the trouble you are having. Would you mind trying an early access build of our upcoming V5 Memory Profiler and let us know if it solves the issue you are having?

The early access forum is here (build 667):
http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/viewforum.php?f=92

Kind regards,

Stephen

I installed the V5 profiler and tried profiling my application. When I start it, IE brings up the site but the profiler still has a big bubble that says "Starting Application". I can't take a snapshot either. When I click that button nothing happens.

Hi,

if you follow the instructions in the article that you mentioned but add this for V5 and let me know how it goes:

[ANTS Memory Profiler version 5.x]
Name: COR_PROFILER Value: {D60F7519-2600-4865-8AC1-C621C9CE41A2}

Thanks,

Stephen
