Since PR Report platform tool startup failure with an error message #684, the launcher keeps each platform tool's stderr so it can report why a tool failed to start. The
ErrorDataReceivedhandler stays attached for the whole session, so the captured output keeps growing while the sample runs, even though it is only ever read during startup.PR Bound captured ServiceControl stderr #689 tries to address this by keeping the last 8 KB. For a missing runtime, the useful lines (
“You must install or update .NET”, Framework: … version) are at the top. They could be dropped on a machine with many runtimes or with a long stack trace.This PR is an alternative to PR Bound captured ServiceControl stderr #689, where we have a flag to captureErrorOutput and it stops recording stderr once startup succeeds
