    for a work around, if I launch the application normally, then attach ANTS to the process, that works.

    Thank you for your post. Can I first check--have you tried running the profiler as administrator?

    I'm seeing the same issue on Windows 7 x64 and ANTS Performance Profiler 7.3 (trial downloaded yesterday).

    Launching from VS2010, VS2012, or stand-alone, as soon as the profiler launches ASP.NET web development server starts and IE is displayed the web server crashes.

    I have tried running Visual Studio and ANTS as an administrator and the problem remains.

    Hi,

    doyle_am: In your case, this is probably due to the fact that ANTS Performance Profiler 7.3 does not support Visual Studio 2012. If you have already installed VS2012, ANTS Performance Profiler will attempt to use the VS2012 version of the WebDev server, even if you launch the profiler from VS2010.
    I'm pleased to say that ANTS Performance Profiler 7.4 will support VS2012, and so this issue is fixed. Version 7.4 is due for release in the coming weeks but if you'd like a private build (untested), please PM me and I'll send you a link.

    I'm pleased to announce that we've just released ANTS Performance Profiler 7.4, which fixes the issue I described above.
    If you are affected by this problem, you can upgrade your copy of the Profiler:

    I just downloaded the trial of ANTS 7.4 last night and am encountering this same issue. When I attempt to profile my Silverlight 5 through the ANTS menu in Visual Studio 2012, WebDev.WebServer40.exe immediately crashes. The only thing I can determine is that it is launching the Visual Studio 2010 version of webdev.webserver40.exe.

    However when I run the Performance Analyzer it launches the correct version of the web server, and does not crash. Only Memory Analyzer is crashing for me.

    I'm on windows 7 64, visual studio 2012.

    Hi Josh,

    Sorry for the delay in replying while I was on vacation last week.

    If I understand your comments correctly, your problem is with ANTS Memory Profiler 7.4, not ANTS Performance Profiler. I'm afraid the Memory Profiler doesn't currently support Silverlight 5, and there's also a known bug where (as you say), the add-in in Visual Studio 2012 launches the wrong version of the Web Development server.

    Both of these issues were fixed in the recently-released ANTS Performance Profiler 8.0 and we'll endevor to get these fixes into the earliest betas of ANTS Memory Profiler 8.0 once we open that beta program shortly.
