Hi,

I just installed VS .NET Academic and when I try to run (CTRL+F5) a program
I get, "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. The
debugger is not properly installed. Run setup to install or repair the
debugger."

I have installed this product twice now, as well as uninstalling and
reinstalling the .NET Framework. I have searched google and listed solutions
do not fix my problem.

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

First step, you should follow the instructions. Most of the time this is
going to work:
a.. Go to Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs->Microsoft Visual
Studio.NET <whatever>
b.. Click Change/Remove
c.. Repair your installation
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the .NET Framework debugging
services:

a.. Start command prompt
b.. cd /d %windir%\ Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>
c.. regsvr32.exe mscordbi.dll
Another known reason for this error is that oleaut32.dll isn't registered:

a.. Start command prompt
b.. cd /d %windir%\system32
c.. regsvr32.exe oleaut32.dll
Also try manually reregistering mdm.exe [updated 4/28/2004]:

a.. Start command prompt
b.. %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe" /regserver
If all this doesn't succeed, try using DebuggerDiagnostics.exe. You can
install it from

Alright, that was somewhat helpful. I think I am getting there to finding the
solution.

I believe that my mdm.exe file is messed up or something. The service is
stopped and when I try to run it, I get the error "Could not start the
Machine Debug Manager on Local Computer. Error 1006: The volume for a file
has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid."

So is there a way I can redownload and install this file or what?

Thanks,

Tony

Got it to work. Thanks. I copied everything in the VS7Debug from my VS.NET
install and it still didn't work, so then I deleted everything in the
Microsoft Shared/VS7Debug fold and then once again copied those files
(including mdm.exe) into it, and now everything seems to be working.

Thanks,

Tony
