Hi,
If you are only trying to troubleshoot the initialization error, you should normally not need this. Once you press F5, VisualGDB deploys the program and attempts running it. Once it exits with code 129, it still remains deployed as if the debugging was never launched. So, you can run it manually and see what is going on (most likely some dynamic libraries are missing).
If you are trying to do something else, please let us know more about what you are trying to accomplish, so we could suggest the best way to do it.
