A very strange thing has happened to two installations of
VS.NET on two different machines at two different
locations.
Yesterday I zipped up my project I was working on at work
and FTP'ed it home. I then opened it there, compiled it
and tried to debug it. I then got the message:
"Unable to start debugging."
"The debugger is not properly installed. Run setup to
install or repair the debugger."
I found this to be really odd, because my VS.NET has been
working fine for well over a year.
Anyway, I uninstalled and started a reinstallation of the
product. When I went back to work the next day, I rebuilt
my project there and then tried to debug it. I then got
the same error!
"Unable to start debugging."
"The debugger is not properly installed. Run setup to
install or repair the debugger."
What in the world could have happened such that two
machines in two locations have suffered the same failure??
I've not done any Updates and the machine at work is 2000
and the one at home is XP Pro.
Any ideas?
Best regards,

More than likley, some dll has gotten itself improperly registered, or
overwritten by another. I had a very similar experience recently with the
server explorer, and it took a great deal of research to find out which
dll's needed to be copied from one directory to another. As is always the
case with somethign like this, try the microsoft knowledge base first.
