Debugging Problem - Application'' Failed to Launch

[AMcp]

Hi,

Having problems setting up debugging, at least for server side script. Initially my problem was not having the server components installed, but after sorting that out I get the error:

Application '' failed to launch.

Seems like it can't identify the browser, however "view in browser" works ok...

thanks

Here is a great link to use to verify you have VID set up for debugging script.
(watch for wrap)

thanks for the tip cbokowski. i'd actually already run that - was how i found out about not having the server components installed. post fixing that viddbg reported all ok and it was after that that i can across the problem.

anyway, I bit the bullet and just rebuilt my machine! all working now.

cheers

I have the same problem. The problem appeared after installing .NET SDK. Seems like on Windows XP only, .NET and VS6.0 are incompatible. On Win2k the problem can be solved by reconfiguring DCOM security for Machine Debug Manager. If you try to configure MDM on WinXP you get the above error. The only fix I have is reinstall the OS and NOT install .NET.

Hey gurus

I am sitting here chewing my wrists of trying to figure why I get the same error. I figured thet the application that is trying to launch is Internet Explorer ( IEExplore.exe) Is it perhaps a registry setting in VID that went weird?

Anyone got some light on the subject please shine it on me
