Launch failed when flashing without debugging

[mlower]

Hi,

I’m developing code for Nordic nRF51822 using Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate and up to date VisualGDB on Windows 10 x64. I’ve noticed that when I try to flash my code without debugging (Ctrl-F5 key shortcut) it fails with error: “Build/launch failed: object reference not set to an object instance”. When I upload the same project with debugging (F5 key) it works ok. It used to work on older VS2015/VisualGDB combination (about early December, I think). Is there something I can do to fix it?

Hi,

Please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.1.2.628.msi

I still get the same error. I’ve tried on new and existing project.

Hi,

Thanks, we have reproduced and fixed it in the upcoming Beta 1 (after Preview 2). As a workaround, please use the Debug->Program without debugging command.
