breakpoints wont stop

[kcwallace]

I have breakpoints inserted into my code, but the will not stop. I know they are being reached.

They worked in the past, but have stopped.

I a completely updated VS2005 and completely updated Vista Business OS.

I also tried reinstalling VS. It had no effect

Any suggestions?

Are you in debug mode? They don't work when you are in Release mode.

I figured it out. Breakpoints will not work in Vista unless you run it as an Administrator.

Add another strange Vista Behavior

I recall in XP the user doing the debugging needed to be in the Visual Studio Debugger User's Group. Perhaps there is an equivalent requirement in Vista?

Useful if, for example, it is not possible for a person to become the administrator of their machine.

IIRC it depends on the version of Vista being used, the 'home' editions do not allow you to create groups etc. you are either an admin or you are not...

The various 'business' editions should allow you to create and use groups and if you install VS onto one of these versions you should get the debuggers group being created.
