Hi, Just had a really annoying problem I ope can be easily solved. I have just installed Visual Studio .NET on my computer (which btw took ages!) and attempt to try it out in simple C++. Created a simple C++ project and source file and created a simple Hello World program. It compiled fine but when I attempt to run it via the debugger (F5 or even Control F5) it gives me the message: Cannot start debugging. Reinstall setup or repair the debugger. What does this mean? I though a simple move from VS 6 to VS .NET would be simple. I tried reinstalling again (again a very long time) and even try looking for the Debugger in the components installation (only Remote Debugger was available which I also installed just in case) but no luck. Anyone had this problem and any suggestions?

I seem to recall problems with the user not having enough permissions to debug - you should check what group you belong to (I believe it should be debuggers, but if you''re an admin it should also work)

You know, I never wanted to be a programmer...

I''m running it as an admin so it should work.
Here''s what the actual message say:

Unable to start debbuging. Debugger not installed properly. Run setup or repair debugger.

I assume the debugger should be installed automatically. Anyway, anymore suggestions, otherwise Id properly stick to VS6.

Sounds like you have a fubar installation. The debugger is not an optional component. Maybe you should try the MS VS.NET newsgroups - you are more likely to get a qualified answer there than here.

In any case, do try to add yourself to the debuggers group - it won''t hurt.
