Hi

I get an error when I try and debug ASP.NET apps in VS.NET. "Unable to start debuggin on the web server. The debugger is not properly installed. Run setup to install or repair the debugger.

Where do I install from?
 
Web.config - ensure debugging set to true

For the debugger, you must ensure that the framework is properly installed.
It could also be that you do not have the correct permissions to debug, and
have nothing to do with the install. A quick test for this is opening the
machine.config file
(\%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG\machine.config - note
the version you are using, as this is important; the above is for Framework
1.1 (VS.NET 2003)).

Now, find <processModel and change the userName to your user name and the
password to your password. Recycle the web server (reboot or stop and start
service) and try debugging.

Hi Gregory,

Thanks for the reply. Tried your changes but still having the problems. It might help if I explain how I installed the framework on the server machine.

1. Installed the .NET Framework 1.1. Package (dotnetfx.exe)
2. Installed the .NET Framework SDK package

That was it. Any ideas
 
I am having the same issue. This may sound like a dumb question, but I just want to confirm.... am I to modify the machine config file on my local machine or on the server? I'm really new to ASP and appreciate any information

Thanks.
