periodic crashes in cl.exe, kernelbase.dll - visual-studio

I frequently have the following crash from cl.exe. This happens both when compiling and running other a help command on cl. This is happening on Windows Server 2008, but I think this happens sometimes on Windows XP also. This is occurring very frequently within Jenkins when when running waf configure.
I haven't been able to find anything online to fix this problem, although there are mentions of kernelbase.dll crashing in other programs.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to avoid this problem?
Thanks

This seems to be an issue with updated dlls. I would also suggest compiling your program outside of Jenkins just to be sure that it is not an issue with Jenkins (either paths, or anything else).

(Windows) Program fails to run on particular machine

When trying to run my executable program on a Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64), it fails immediately and Windows says "Program (x64) has stopped working".
The same executable works on many other machines.
Even on other machines with the same OS.
The program comes with its own Dlls in the folder.
Even if it would require other Dlls that arent present i think the system would say so?
Here is the output from Windows Event Viewer:

I have looked up VERSION.dll and it seems to be a Windows system Dll.
I dont' know how to debug this issue.

VS2015 when trying to Validate Connection crashes Faulting module name: clr.dll, version: 4.6.1063.1

I am using VS2015 and trying to validate connection after importing publish profile generated by winhost, when I click on Validate connection VS2015 crashes.
I have tried cleaning up and rebuilding but hat didn't help, I have also restarted machine without any luck.
I have also enabled logging by running devenv /Log but can't make any sense out of ActivityLog.xml what went wrong exactly, I have uploaded it here
What went wrong with Visual Studio 2015 and how could I fix it?
UPDATE: I also tried resetting settings devenv /resetsettings but that didn't help.
EventLog shows following Error:

Update2:
As per #magicandre1981 request. I ran procdump -ma -i C:\dumps from command line before doing anything else. Then ran VS2015, went to publish and clicked on Test connection when VS crashed, there was a .dmp file in C:\dumps. Here's zipped dump file
ok, the PDB is now online and I was able to look at the dzmp with Windbg. The crash (NULL_POINTER_READ_INVALID_POINTER_READ) happens at clr!MethodTableBuilder::CreateMethodChainHash+0x8a.
I have no idea how to fix it. Submit the issue to Microsoft via connect so that Microsoft can fix it with the Update 3.

StyleCop 4.7 crashing in Visual Studio 2010

Morning,
I don't know if anyone else has experienced the following.
Up until this morning my Windows 7/Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate/StyleCop 4.7.11.0 setup was working fine.
However when I booted my PC this morning, started Visual Studio 2010 and loaded a solution with stylecop enabled on various projects I found the IDE crashed when I tried to build any styelcop enabled projects. e.g. thjose with the following entries in .csproj
...
false
Removing these StyleCop entries from the .csproj files or uninstalling StyleCop "fixes" the problem on their own and allows me the build the solution. But re-instating the stlecop entries in the .csproj files and re-installing StyleCop v4.7.11.0 or v4.7.17.0 caused the problem to re-occur.

I think I have answered my own question...
The change I did make but discounted was that I used the StyleCop Settings contextr menu option in Visual Studio to set settings file's to be merged with a parent settings file, e.g.:
Solution
Settings.StyleCop
Project1
Settings.StyleCop (merge with Solution\Settings.StyleCop)
the contents of the files were as follows:
Solution\Settings.StyleCop
<StyleCopSettings Version="105">
<GlobalSettings>
<StringProperty Name="LinkedSettingsFile">Settings.StyleCop</StringProperty>
<StringProperty Name="MergeSettingsFiles">Linked</StringProperty>
</GlobalSettings>
</StyleCopSettings>
Project\Settings.StyleCop
<StyleCopSettings Version="105">
<GlobalSettings>
<StringProperty Name="LinkedSettingsFile">..\Settings.StyleCop</StringProperty>
<StringProperty Name="MergeSettingsFiles">Linked</StringProperty>
</GlobalSettings>
</StyleCopSettings>
Deleting these Settings files solved the problem. Although I don't understand why. Could it be some form of circular reference in the merge/link settings?

32-bit windows service do not start on 64-bit windows 7

I have a 32-bit windows .exe. Which will run as windows service. This .exe runs fine as servics for window 2000/xp 32-bit version.
However when try to run on 64-bit windows 2008 server it crash. I am observing two cases.
1) If I build the application on VC++ 6. From Event log entry it seems to Kernel.dll is crashing.

Please help me out resolve this issue.
You need to diagnose the problem better before you can solve it, which probably means finding a way to reproduce it while program is executing under the debugger. Some suggestions:
Since your service is EXE (and not DLL that runs under svchost.exe, which is a generic host process name for services that run from DLLs), you should be able to use "Attach to Process" option in Visual Studio to attach the debugger to it. You might need to start the Visual Studio as administrator and/or change the user under which the service executes to be able to do that.
Also, if the service crashes soon after starting, you might need to call MessageBox with MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION to pause execution long enough so you can attach the debugger.
However, if the service crashes during startup before it even reaches the MessageBox, you need to
build it as console application. Now you can actually start it under the debugger and see what is going on.
Can you please try installing redistributable package on client machine to run your application.

Event 1000, Application Error, Windows 7, Visual Studio 2008

I've got an application we use at our company.
All of our Windows XP PCs and Windows 7 PCs use it.
I can run it in the debugger under Visual Studio 2008 and build the Installer that all of the other PCs use to install it with, but I can not get it to run after installing on my PC (the installation shows no errors).
Under Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application, two (2) events are fired:

This repeats every time I try to run the application I made with this PC ...on this PC, but no where else.
Could someone give me some idea of what's going on and how to fix it?
Do you get prompted to elevate Visual Studio when you run it?
If so, try running the app elevated.
Basically, isolate what's different between the two:
Can you run it in Visual Studio without debugging? Including when you set it to "Release"?
How about if you build and install it as "Debug" then start it and try to attach to it as it crashes? (You can set the JIT debugger via the registry here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hs4b7a6.aspx)
Good luck!
It turned out that my application uses a control that does not run on 64-bit environments.
Apparently, the debugger in VS2008 will not throw an error whenever one of these old style DLLs fails.
