Remote debugging

Debbuging on another machine, no symbols, followed instuctions from:

To enable remote debugging, you can either:

Install the Remote Debugging Monitor (msvsmon.exe) on the remote computer and launch it when you start debugging, or
Run the Remote Debugging Monitor remotely from a share.

Running the Remote Debugging Monitor from a file share is the easiest way to enable remote debugging. Visual Studio installs msvsmon.exe into these directories:

Install path\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86

Install path\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64

Install path\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\ia64

The IA-64 components are available only with Visual Studio Team System.

When you install Visual Studio on a 64-bit platform, remote debugging components for both 64-bit and x86 are installed. When you install Visual Studio on an x86 platform, remote debugging components for x86 are installed by default; 64-bit debugging components are installed if you choose the appropriate option during installation.

When you install the Remote Debugging Monitor on an x86 platform, only the x86 remote debugging components are installed. There is no option for installing 64-bit components.

By sharing out the Remote Debugger directory on the Visual Studio computer, you can run msvsmon.exe on the remote computer. The following debugger features do not work when the Remote Debugging Monitor is run from a share:

Stepping into an XML Web service. (Manual attach is still possible.) http://www.google.com
Automatically debugging an ASP.NET Web application. (Again, manual attach is still possible.)

As an alternative to running from a share, you can use the Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger CD to install the necessary remote debugging components on the remote computer. This installation provides access to all remote debugging features. When you run the Remote Debugger install on an x86 platform, only the x86 remote debugging components are installed. There is no option to install 64-bit components. If you run it on a 64-bit platform, both x86 and 64-bit components are installed.
