Hi there
I have recently got a new PC with Windows 7 on it. I have downloaded visual basic 2008.
As soon as i start the program and attempt to debug any application (even an empty one) i get an error message saying "Error while trying to run the project: Unable to start debugging"
Is this a simple problem?
I have used visual basic 2005 at college and used it with ease
Thanks
Luke
I have never seen that particular error, but based on your description, I would suggest that the installation didn't work right.
I'm not working with VS.Net right now so I can't be sure, but doesn't the debugger require that you run the IDE elevated in Windows 6.x releases such as Vista and Windows 7?

Natty Gur blogged abaut the “Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server.” Error.
Open your Internet Information Services manager and from the [your machine]/Web Sites/ Default Web Site node select the virtual folder which stores your project. Right Click and select Properties to select the ASP.NET tab page. Make sure the correct version ASP.NET Version is selected.
I have VS.NET 2003 and 2005 beta 1 running side-by-side on my box and noticed ASP.NET Version 2.0 is targeted by default, even for VS.NET 2003 projects
Might help?
