Visual Studio 2005 Debugging in Vista

Problem: I was trying to debug in Visual Studio 2005 in my new machine which came with Vista Home Premium. Surprisingly I found that none of the break points are touched and I cannot debug. I tried giving all types of permission to the folder but no luck.

Solution: After googling a bit, I found that I needed to run VisualStudio2005 as an Administrator, and everything started working as I expected.

So all I had to do is :
Right-click the Visual Studio icon and select the "Run as administrator" option from the context menu.

Hope this saves some of your time.

Thanks you Shahed. I was also able to get instructions to set VS2k5 to run as administrator thru this link (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/always-start-an-application-in-administrator-mode-on-windows-vista/). Hope this helps.

Dear Readers,

I had the same problem, and the above method works for me. Please try the same. This feature is enabled in the Windows and VS2005 to enable the system to run on minimal rights for security reasons.
