---debug should do the trick. :-)

Or what are you seeing exactly at step 4?  Just the message?  Is there some
catch in the app that's handling the exception and thus the CLR doesn't get
an unhandled exceptoin to print?

Have you see the good guide at
http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:_Porting_Winforms_Applications , it
recommends mono XXX.exe 2> log.txt, maybe that has the most important effect
as --debug; i.e. stopping the app from detaching from the console, and thus
no errors can be seen.


On the accessing the Windows PC disks issue -- althought you may be
discussing that in another thread I think? -- I have my Windows drives
shared on the network and use Samba to mount them from the virtual machine. 
To start with one can use smbclient which acts like a ftp client, then if
that works one can mount the drives permanently.  That needs the VM
networking working of course, the virtual driver works here and Linux picks
up a address by DHCP from my local router (on resuming the the address often
needs refreshed by running dhclient manually).

Both the guide referenced above and http://www.mono-project.com/VMware_Image
recommend connecting *to* the Linux VM with Samba.  Which may indeed be
easier...
