Should have said that the suggestion will only help you debug a release version of an app. Not necessarily find this specific problem. You could try the Exception dialog in the Debug menu. Only available during debugging. It lets you control debugger behaviour in the event of an exception. Can be useful but time consuming.

You can debug from release mode if you build with program database and switch off the optimization. The debugger looks for the PDB file and will load it if present. Change project setting in C/C++ General Tab to disable(debug) optimization and create Debug Info in Program Database. Optimization can shuffle code around and remove redundant stuff which can confuse the debugger because the binary does not match the source. Good Luck.
