Re: [coLinux-devel] Release: coLinuxManager-0.6.1-Beta

[morfic <mo...@bb...>]

i would like to see you add a couple try catch blocks to gracefully deal 
with exceptions, giving easily readable errors/exceptions in 
MessageBox.Show();
or dump to a file even, the full Exception e  e.ToString()  which might 
be informational
like for example i still have issues installing the driver with 
--install-driver

but noone should haveto enter the debugger to see your message 
explaining the driver wasnt loaded and to run colinux-daemon with 
--install driver :)

hope this helps you
