XPe .NET Remote Debugging

I manually copied and register the dlls and exes for .NET remote debugging
to my XPe machine. When I start the debugger, the process on the remote XPe
box starts up, but no symbols get loaded in Visual Studio and I can't set
break points. I used FileMon and verified that the remote application is
indeed reading the .pdb file. Running the installer is not an option due to
disk size constraints. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks in advance!
 
MAS,

Can't speek about .NET framework debuugging.
But if you use only VS 2003 (.NET) with not .net framework then your symbols
should be located on your development computer on path where VS can find
them.

Try debugging program on target machine with XPP on it. This will eliminate
suspicion on XPe and you can concentrate on problem why VS do not load
symbols. (It happen some times and require little path enviroment setup)

I can debug on a XPP target machine with no problem. I can also remote debug
Win32 native code on XPe. I suspect that I'm missing a component in the XPe
image that is needed to remote debug .NET code correctly.
 
Are your .PDB files on the remote computer ? or on the HOST ?
In .Net debugging they must be on the remote computer together with the
binary files (Which is quite annoying).

Would you mind telling me which files you used (And if any registry keys
needed) to activate the .Net debugging on XPE. I also need to create a remote
debugging component for my XPE package.
