>
> Hi everyone,
>
> I just installed  VS2005 after sever prior installs and
> uninstalls in an attempt to get the debugger to work.
> Everytime I go to run the test application in the VS 2005 IDE
> (clicking debug on the main menu, and chosing start debugger,
> I get the following error message:
>
> "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.
>
> A debugger dll, msdbg2.dll, is not correctly installed.
> Please repair your Visual Studio installation via 'Add or
> Remove Programs' in control panel.
>
> If the problem persists, you can manually register msdbg2.dll
> from the command prompt with regsvr32..."
>
> I've tried both the automatic repair and registering the dll
> by hand, but that didn't work either.  I did find a post in
> MSDN forum online where someone gave the suggestion of
> uninstalling VS2005, then turn off the debugger server (MDM),
> delete the VS7Debug folder, then reinstall as normal. Suffice
> it to say that this did not work for me either.
>
> I'm hoping someone else has encountered this before and may
> have a fix.

> Thanks in advance for any help on this,
