What Is Jit Debugging?

Just-In-Time debugging is a feature that launches the Visual Studio debugger automatically when a program, running outside Visual Studio, encounters a fatal error. Just-In-Time debugging allows you to examine the error before the application is terminated by the operating system.

When JIT debugging is enabled any unhandled exception?

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."

How do I enable JIT?

In the details pane of the Component Services administrative tool, right-click the component that you want to configure and then click Properties. In the component properties dialog box, click the Activation tab. To enable JIT activation for the component, select the Enable Just In Time Activation check box. Click OK.
