Beware of DevPartner Community Edition
Roy posted about a free edition of the DevPartner Profiler.
I've downloaded and installed it, and the gates of hell were opened. Looks like the tool installs the .NET v1.0 (!) automatically, without checking what there is already on the machine (I had v1.1 & whidbey). Since then, the VS.NET just gone creazy. I can't debug any web application anymore, and I start debugging, I get the following message:
“Unable to start debugging on the web server. There is no managed code running in the process. In order to attach to a process with the .NET debugger, managed code must be running in the process before attaching.”
There is almost no docs about this error message in the web.
what I tried to do until now is:
- Uninstall the DevPartner
- Repair the VS.NET installation
- Reinstall the .NET Framework
- Remove / Create the root application of the IIS
But nothing helps. Of course I tried to attach the process manually after starting with CTRL+F5, but that didn't help either.
THIS DRIVING ME NUTS!
If you know about this message and how to overcome it, please drop me a line. And if someone from Compuware is reading this - please improve your installation process. I found some posts in the internet of other guys who encountered the same problem with your product, but no one found a solution yet.
