> Everytime I go to run the test application in the VS
2005 IDE
> (clicking debug on the main menu, and chosing start
debugger,
> I get the following error message:
>
> "Error while trying to run project: Unable to
start debugging.

> A debugger dll, msdbg2.dll, is not correctly installed.
> Please repair your Visual Studio installation via 'Add
or

msdbg2.dll

the dll

(MDM),
> delete the VS7Debug folder, then reinstall as normal.
