Question

i keep receiving the error 0x000007b when i try to debug a .exe from my microsoft visual studio 2008, i am working from a windows 7 system. any and all help would be highly appreciated on the matter

Answer 1

Try updating the boot configuration to enable debugging. Use the 'msconfig' command and click on the boot tab->Advanced Options->Select 'Debug'.

Answer 2

I can't find anything on 0x7b (related to MSVS -- It's all related to boot errors.)

My initial assumption would be that the 2008 debugger is not up to date for windows 7, but I don't see how that might make a difference, a debugger is a debugger.

You might try following Bob's above suggestion, changing the boot options to enable debugging.

Haha, I don't know if this applies to you, but make sure the app is running before you try to attach.

Generally a crashing program will allow you to attach just in time if you desire, but you have to explicitly select a running program if it isn't crashing.

Answer 3

try to update your .net framework
