Error trying to run C# program in VS.NET 2003

[Murray McCulloch]

I've recently installed Visual Studio .NET 2003 on my Win2k machine. I
wrote a simple hello world Windows app in C# and compiled. When I try
to execute it with either F5 or CTRL+F5, I'm getting this error:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.

The server threw an exception."

Now, this doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it will work,
particularly right after a reboot. But then it will stop working,
usually after only a few minutes. Or I will be able to run with F5 but
not CTRL+F5, or vice versa. Basically I can't see any pattern at all.

The MDM service is running.

I'm about to remove and reinstall the whole damned thing, but I was
hoping someone else might have solved this problem an easier way.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,


Are you running any AV ?
Maybe the problem you are having is that the debugger cannot access the
..pdb file

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply Ignacio,

Yes, I'm running NAV. I tried disabling it, but got the same problem.
