KERNELBASE.dll error running c# app on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have a .NET 3.5 executable, compiled with 'Any CPU' and when I attempt to run it on Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 - It gives me:

Faulting application name: mcb.exe, version: 0.1.0.8, time stamp: 0x4e08e871
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdfe0

Has anyone else encountered/solved this issue?

I suspect the DLLImports is that it doesn't even make it to main() -- I should also add that this works fine on non-R2 Win Server 2008 x64

EDIT: Nevermind -- the dll import doesn't appear to be the cause of the issue -- I commented it out and tried it, the same behavior occurred. Renaming question.

EDIT II: This kernel base dll error seems to be rather common but I can't find any reason why.

Complete error per request:

I can't attach a debugger in time and cannot install VS on faulting machine :-(

Here is the windbg output, I'm afraid it is just gibberish to me... I don't know if anyone can make sense of it.

Seems like when I run 'analyze', the money error file is

EXCEPTION_MESSAGE:  Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a
MANAGED_OBJECT_NAME:  System.IO.FileNotFoundException
MANAGED_STACK_COMMAND:  !pe 24b6010

But I don't understand how this could be -- .NET 3.5 is installed!

I'm an idiot - I had to go enable .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features in the Features Pane of Win2008 R2 x64. I guess at least I learned a little about windbg...

Exception 0xE0434F4D is an unhandled CLR exception. Most likely the KERNELBASE stuff was just the library function to raise the exception - RtlRaiseException or similar. You'll need to either catch the exception in your CLR code, create a crash dump, or attach a debugger (such as windbg) to get details, such as a stack trace. This MSDN blog post has an example of using windbg to diagnose a CLR crash.

I just encountered this issue in a Windows form App I created. Apparently there is a plethora of issues that can cause this. In my case you could open the Task Manager, click the application, see it open in the task manager, and immediately close. The only way to see what the issue was, was to look at the event viewer and find the error.

I had a method running in the constructor of Program.cs which is the first thing instantiated when you start a windows form app. I had a bug in code that was causing an exception before any exception handling was created. To fix the problem I moved the code to a point after I create an unhandled exception method as such:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(CurrentDomain_UnhandledException);

in my forms constructor. Now the program would start and actually throw an error. I then just had to fix the bug in my code.

I hope this can help you or anyone else out there.

I had a program in vb running on four machines but one. After remote debugging I found I had a DataGridView showing different columns on different machines. For this machine one columnname was misspelled. This caused the above error.
