Switch Between Visual C++ 6 Debugger And .NET (7) Debugger

Date: 17/3/2005

If you have both Visual C++ 6 and .NET installed, and you want to switch between the (just in time) debuggers you can by fiddling the value of the "Debugger" key in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AeDebug

The setting for VC6:

"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\Common\\MSDev98\\Bin\\msdev.exe" -p %ld -e %ld

And for VC7:

"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\VS7Debug\\vs7jit.exe" -p %ld -e %ld

Obviously adjusting paths as necessary.

And if the .NET debugger is giving you the "Registered JIT debugger is not available." finger then you could try the following:

Go to: Settings >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration

The .NET 1.1 Configuration module will appear. Click on the "Runtime Security Policy" folder on the left hand side of the screen.

Click on the "Adjust Security Zone" link in the body of the screen.

Click "Next."

Click the "Local Intranet" security button (since our application is distributed through the company intranet.)

Adjusted the security to "FULL."

-and/or-

Start -> Run:

"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\VS7Debug\\vs7jit.exe" /RegServer
