I am running randomly into 1 of these popups when our application runs. The machines range from 8GB/8Core to 24GB/24Core and run Windows Server 2008 R2. The application is a bunch of perl scripts and exe's that are expected to utilitize the server well. The process tree can be quite deep (5-6 child levels) and quite broad (60-70 level 1 processes).

We hit this issues every 1% run on random machines. The application stalls on popup, unless someone clicks the damn button.

The event log reads as cmd.exe -> "Failed to initialize app. Click OK to close app"

How could I reliably repro these issues?
