.NET Runtime Error "Failed to CoCreate profiler"
Hello,
On all of our servers with .NET agents installed, the following error continues to populate the application event log:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3623 - Failed to CoCreate profiler.
We have tracked it down to the dynaTrace .Net agent as the cause. A little googling points to a possible issue with registry permissions, but we have not been able to locate the exact issue. Has anyone else encountered this, or know what the cause is?
Thank you.
Hi Alan,
If the agent connects to the collector fine and there is no noticed application problems, this logging can be ignored. This is a known logging message that will show up on servers with the .NET agent installed, but not attached to every .NET process (most servers have this type of configuration). This logging issue should not be related to any known application issues. The reason for this logging message is as follows, the .NET process boots up, sees that there has been a profiler installed. Since that .NET process has not been configured to access the dynaTrace binaries, it throws this logging error. It simply means, there is a .NET profiler (the agent) installed on the machine, but this .NET process will not be using it.
If there is an application issue, please refer to this KB article:

Hope this helps!
