Problem starting debug build on Windows Server 2008R2

I have a Windows service that is written in C++ using VS2008. I now want to debug that service remotely on my Windows Server 2008R2. But when I start the service I get an application error saying:

Faulting application name: MyService.exe, version: 1.99.96.0, time stamp: 0x4c87cf49 Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.4926, time stamp: 0x4a1743c1 Exception code: 0xc0000417 Fault offset: 0x0006c955 Faulting process id: 0x1c08 Faulting application start time: 0x01cb4f7fd91b5804 Faulting application path: C:\Services\MyService.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a\MSVCR90.dll Report Id: 171b562c-bb73-11df-81e0-003048788541

When I start the same service in release build everything is fine. The service is build against Microsoft.VC90.CRT version 9.0.21022.8 and I have an embedded manifest.

What I figured out so far is t开发者_JAVA技巧hat as I also have VS2010 installed on my development machine I do have 9.0.30729.4974 redist installed. And the W2k8 server does have the required x.x.x.4926 installed. But there is no debug version of x.x.x.4926 on the server so I think that might be the problem. Maybe something about missing symbols?

Does anyone have an idea? I'm kind of desperate as I really need to debug my service for checking an severe error.

This has nothing to do with the CRT deployment, although it is mysterious that you got the debug build deployed. The code is simply crashing on a runtime error, raised by the _invalid_parameter() function. Which is called when a CRT function detects a critical problem with one of its arguments.

The fact that it doesn't happen in the Release build is no consolation, the Debug build is especially booby-trapped to cause errors like these so you don't have problems with a Release build that occasionally crashes.

You'll need a debugger, it automatically breaks just before it goes kaboom.
