SYMPTOMS

After upgrading to Windows 2000, attempts to debug in Visual InterDev fail, and the following error message appears:

Unable to set server into correct debugging state automatically. You may not be able to debug ASP pages. Do you want to continue launching the debugger?

This happens even though debugging worked prior to the upgrade.

There are a couple of resolutions to this issue. The most common resolution is to remove and reinstall Remote Machine Debugging and Visual InterDev Server. To remove them, use the Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel.

Reinstall these two components from the Visual Studio 6.0 CD-ROM #2 or Visual InterDev 6.0 CD-ROM. To do so, run Setup.exe from the SCRPT_SS folder, which installs Remote Machine Debugging, and from the VID_SS folder, which installs Visual InterDev Server.

The second resolution is the result of a problem encountered during the Windows 2000 COM+ setup. To identify if this is the cause of the problem you are encountering, search your machine for the existence of the ~clbcatq.dll file. The existence of this file signals that COM+ setup has not been successfully completed. When COM+ setup completes successfully, it deletes the ~clbcatq.dll file. To resolve the problem you will need to follow the instructions found in the following Knowledge Base article:

NOTE: Visual Studio Service Pack 3 is also required for Windows 2000 configurations. If Visual Studio Service Pack 3 is not installed, download it from the following Microsoft Web site:
