Hi,

I've just changed machines from a Windows XP SP1 machine to a Windows XP SP2
machine, and I'm no longer able to remote debug an VS2003 ASP.NET
application. I get the error "Unable to start debugger: Access is denied".
Debugging works fine from the old machine - both are logged in as the same
user. I've had a look at the various solutions offered on the net but
nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help?

I had the same problems (on a new system). This solved the problem for me:

I disabled the firewall and did this:
Configure DCOM on the computer that is running Visual Studio .NET
Note After you make changes by using the Distributed Component Object Model
Configuration utility (Dcomcnfg.exe), you must restart your computer for the
changes to take effect. 1. At a command prompt, type dcomcnfg, and then
press ENTER. Component Services opens.
2. In Component Services, expand Component Services, expand Computers,
and then expand My Computer.
3. On the toolbar, click the Configure My Computer button. The My
Computer dialog box appears.
4. In the My Computer dialog box, click the COM Security tab.
5. Under Access Permission, click Edit Limits. The Access Permission
dialog box appears.
6. Under Group or user names, click ANONYMOUS LOGON.
7. Under Permissions for ANONYMOUS LOGON, select the Remote Access
check box, and then click OK.

Hello
Is there any exe or patch that can do this without requiring it to do
explicitly ? Or can u tell me registry entry where it stores these
permission for anonymous users ? I will write an application that will
create this entry in registry and grant the necessary permissions.
Please shed some light on it !
