Registered JIT debugger?

I have an .NET 1.1 application that will run fine for days at a time, and
then suddenly drop into that most hated of Error Dialogs - Registered JIT
debugger is not available. How can I install a JIT debugger on this
system?

I've seen various messages around suggesting it is due to corrupt .NET
install, but I don't think that is my case because as I said, the program
runs fine for quite a long time. I've also tried installing the .NET 1.1
SDK (to get a debugger) but that doesn't seem to have helped.

Isn't there something (such as the CLR debugger) that can help here?

Also note that this is a box I am accessing over VPN to a customer site -
I've considered Remote Debugging but I'm not sure I'll be able to implement
that. And no, I can't run this application locally - it depends on
resources that are only accessible to the customer's machine. I've also
got a hook on the AppDomain's UnhandledException event - that doesn't help
either.. If I have no other choice, I'll go to the customer and will
install Visual Studio on the machine itself.

Any suggestions? Would it help if I moved to .NET 2.0?

TIA,
