The debugger is not properly installed

February 22, 2006 by Amy

The debugger is not properly installed or
The debugger can not be started. Access is Denied or
Result of ‘CoCreateMachineDebugManager(&spMachine)’ is ‘80080005’

If anyone has these with Visual Studio .Net 2003…this is what I did….

I tried repairing it 3 times, adding me to the Debugger Users group, tried all the things found here..http://blogs.msdn.com/greggm/archive/2004/04/16/114828.aspx, tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

When I reinstalled, I got rid of the debugger is not properly installed error but then started getting the Access is Denied error again. Here is how I finally fixed it:

In Task Manager, stop the mdm.exe process.
Go to Start, Run and type dcomcnfg
Under Component Services, Computers, My Computer, DCOM Config, delete .Machine Debug Manager
At the command prompt, I ran this: “C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVS7DEBUGmdm.exe” /regserver which put out the DCOM entry again.

And that was it.
