silent closing VS 2008 on Windows 7

Question

I am trying to build a MFC Windows Application with Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7. I use the "Batch build" feature of Visual Studio to get both Release and Debug of several projects' outputs with only one-click.

The problem is: Frequently, after I instruct VS 2008, some minutes later VS closes its window without any explanation. I have already seach the Web about these things and it seems that nobody as an answer.

I cannot be more specific than this. VS simply closes and you will not get any information.

Thanks in advance,

Sérgio

I'd say it's just bad luck. :( Unless you can trace things with Process Monitor and actually find something wrong, I don't think you'll get much of an answer, since there's obviously not enough information for diagnosis (not saying that it's your fault). — user541686, Jan 05 '11 at 19:18
@sergiol: "VS closes its window" -- what window are you talking about? — Gene Bushuyev, Jan 05 '11 at 19:21
@David Heffernan: Why? If I have this integrated int he UI of VS, I don't need a script. — sergiol, Jan 07 '11 at 17:47

The best answer I could give would be to contact Microsoft directly and let them know of your problem. If there is no error information, it could be that they are not handling an exception and the program is just closing instead.

Seems that installing the patch quoted on http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/03/widely-reported-crash-in-visual-studio-2008-sp1-fixed.ars solves the issue.
