I want to catch Memory Access Violation in SQL Server Compact Edition like this described at http://debuggingblog.com/wp/2009/02/18/memory-access-violation-in-sql-server-compact-editionce/ The suggested config is:

CRASH Quiet MyApp.exe NoDumpOnFirstChance clr;av FullDump gn

I download latest Debugging Tools and observe what Microsoft rewrite adplus tool into managed code and change syntax of config File. I rewrite config file like this:

 <ADPlus  Version="2">
 <Settings>
  <RunMode>Crash</RunMode>
  <Option>Quiet</Option>
  <Option>NoDumpOnFirst</Option>
  <Sympath>c:\symbols\</Sympath>
  <OutputDir>c:\work\output\</OutputDir>
  <ProcessName>c:\work\app\output\MyApp.exe</ProcessName>
 </Settings> 

 <Exceptions><!--to get the full dump on clr access violation-->
  <Exception Code="clr;av">   
   <Actions1>FullDump</Actions1>
   <ReturnAction1>gn</ReturnAction1>
  </Exception>  
 </Exceptions>
</ADPlus>

And I get error "Couldn't find exception with code: clr;av". If I understand right It didn't load sos extension, but I can't find the right section and syntax that I should use to load it.

adplus_old.vbs - for some reasons didn't launch process on Windows 7. WinDBG 6.12.0002.633 X86 ADPlus Engine Version: 7.01.002 02/27/2009

Maybe someone has a working example of config of debugging .NET app with latest adplus.exe?
