My Visual Studio 2008 Professional gave me the following error:
An error has occurred in the
application. For more information
please see the log file. Its path is
listed in the About box.
Riiight. I went to the About box, and there is nothing about a log file. And the System Info button has so much information, that I can't even figure out where to look for information on the location of a log file. I tried the find, using 'log', and finally gave up — there are too many 'dialog' and other false positives found.
So, where is that log file?
Visual Studio 2008, version 9.0.30729.1 SP; MS .NET framework version 3.5 SP1.

From the documentation of the
/Log
command line switch:You will probably have to run
devenv
with the/Log
switch for these files to be created. Visual Studio doesn't seem to log anything by default.
