Hi.
I downloaded the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and installed it over my existing compilers
for my VC++6.
Now I'm not able to debug an application, because it say's there are no debugging-informations
in that exe-file! Can that be possible?

Of course that is possible. The VS 6.0 debugger cannot read the debug info
that the 7.1 toolset emits. What you are trying to do is not only
unsupported, but it will simply not work in multiple ways.

You can debug the code using a current version of windbg which you can get
here:
