Toaster exception error

[briansrapier]

I am working on installing Toaster on a user's XP (SP2) workstation. The install completes fine, but when I attempt to click the "Register Mailto Handler" button, I'm getting:

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.

Additionally, after configuration, if I do attempt to click a mailto link, about 90 IE windows pop up even though FF is her default web client.

I dug through the forums/wiki and googled around and the only references I could find were related to the beta release just before Thanksgiving last year, but no resolution.

Any clues?

Try enabling the JIT debugging.

If you think this is a bug, please file one, and attach repo steps.

I was having the exact same problem registering my mailto handler with toaster. It turned out that my default mail client was not set properly in the windows registry. Once I corrected the registry problems I was able to use toaster to register the mailto links properly.

Here's how I fixed my registry:

Instructions for Windows XP:

* Click Start, Run and type control inetcpl.cpl
* Select the Programs tab
* From the E-mail dropdown list, choose another mail client and click Apply
* Redo the procedure and set your preferred email client again
