Visual Studios 2005 - trouble debugging xslt

Well, I finally installed Visual Studios 2005 beta 2.  I have been very excited about what I have heard about the debugging capabilities with XSLT.  To date, I’ve always used XSelerator , and I have been hoping to see similar functionality in VS.  For some reason, it’s not working.  It feels like a user error, but it just doesn’t make sense.  I’ve loaded an XSLT file and an XML file, and I’ve pointed the properties of the xslt to the input and output files, but the debugger buttons are all disabled.  I found an MSDN article showing exactly what I am doing.  It there a known issue, or have I not had enough coffee?  

 

I know this isn’t a forum, so I will post this to a forum to hopefully find an answer, but I took this time to vent my frustrations here.  Thanks for listening. :)

I believe XSL debugging is only present in the Professional SKU of Visual Studio.NET

Do you still have problems with the VS2005 XSLT Debugger?

If so, please email me with a more detailed description of the problems.

Cheers,
Dimitre

Thanks Dimitre. I should have added a comment after Scott got me straight. When I installed the Beta 2 version, it was not a full blown professional copy. Once I install the Professional version, the debugger magically appeared.

I appreciate the assistance.
Cheers,
John
