Unhandled exception errors during login in eTimeTrackLite usually indicate that the application encountered a situation it couldn’t process or predict. These errors often pop up in a small error window with a message like:“An unhandled exception has occurred in your application.”
These issues can block users from accessing the software entirely, especially if they appear right after launching the application or clicking the “Login” button.
Corrupted or missing configuration files (Settings.txt, DBConnection.ini)
Incorrect database connection settings
Incomplete or failed software installation
Missing .NET Framework or incompatible version
File or folder permission issues
Third-party antivirus or firewall blocking resources
Database service (MySQL/SQL Server) not running
Run as Administrator
Right-click on the eTimeTrackLite shortcut and select Run as administrator.
Check Configuration Files
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\eSSL\eTimeTrackLite\
Open Settings.txt and DBConnection.ini to ensure database IP, port, username, and password are correctly configured.
Check .NET Framework
Ensure that .NET Framework 3.5 or later is installed.
You can enable this via Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Reinstall the Software
Uninstall the existing version and reinstall using the latest setup file.
Make sure the database is properly backed up if needed.
Verify Permissions
Right-click the eTimeTrackLite folder > Properties > Security
Make sure Users have full control.
Inspect the Debug File
Go to the installation directory and open debug.txt or the log file that logs the exception.
This helps identify exactly where the error is occurring.
To avoid this error in the future:
Always install updates carefully.
Avoid renaming files in the installation folder manually.
If using antivirus, whitelist the eTimeTrackLite folder.
