silent closing VS 2008 on Windows 7

Question

I am trying to build a MFC Windows Application with Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7. I use the "Batch build" feature of Visual Studio to get both Release and Debug of several projects' outputs with only one-click.

The problem is: Frequently, after I instruct VS 2008, some minutes later VS closes its window without any explanation. I have already seach the Web about these things and it seems that nobody as an answer.

I cannot be more specific than this. VS simply closes and you will not get any information.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Seems that installing the patch quoted on http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/03/widely-reported-crash-in-visual-studio-2008-sp1-fixed.ars solves the issue.

Answer 2

The best answer I could give would be to contact Microsoft directly and let them know of your problem. If there is no error information, it could be that they are not handling an exception and the program is just closing instead.
