After installing Visual Studio 2013 Express on my Windows 7 64-bit PC, I tested the following simple Hello World C++ program:
1 #include <iostream>
2 using namespace std;
3
4 int main() {
5 cout << "Hello World" << endl;
6 return 0;
7 }
When I run this code in normal execution (using ctr+F5), the programs runs fine. However, when I run it with the debugger (using F5 only), I get the following message box that appears :
"First-chance exception at 0x778412C7 in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000008: An invalid handle was specified.
If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued."
I press continue and then another message box appear saying :
Unhandled exception at 0x778412C7 in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000008: An invalid handle was specified.
If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.
I press continue again and the console output is the following :

The thread 0x1f34 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
First-chance exception at 0x778412C7 in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000008: An invalid handle was specified.
Unhandled exception at 0x778412C7 in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000008: An invalid handle was specified.
The program '[1836] ConsoleApplication1.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
So I tried to figure out what's going on by putting a break point at line #5 and stepping with F10. I can step passed the closing bracket of the main() and then enter in a file called "crtexe.c" (see code block below). I continue stepping through this file until the exception pops up at line #649:
645 #else /* !defined (_WINMAIN_) && defined (_CRT_APP) */
646 if ( !managedapp )
647 {
648 #ifndef _CRT_APP
649 exit(mainret);
650 #else
What is the explanation for this behavior and how can I get it to work as expected?
