failed: [pc-riadh] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}

Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.

When researching this problem in the internet, I found in the forum talking about a problem of memory dedicated in the target machine.
  But I haven't been able to diagnose the problem
If you can help me it will be very useful to me.

thanks

I think I had this StackOverflowException  problem in the past with a windows server 2008 installation which had not received any windows updates.

I suggest you check you are up to date with windows updates.

Thanks Jon for your reply, I will try to update windows and I inform you of the result.
