MORE INFORMATION

This article lists issues on debugging and configuring computers for debugging services. These are the topics in this article:

• Using SQL Debugging Services on a Computer with SQL Server 6.5 and Visual C++ 5.0 or Higher

For ASP Debugging, Install IIS Patch After Installing BackOffice

Internet Information Server (IIS) has a patch that fixes problems related to debugging Active Server Pages (ASP) from Visual InterDev. This patch also fixes a Windows 95/Windows 98 problem in which changes to the Global.asa file would not be reflected in your application (such as adding, changing, or removing data connections) until you stopped and restarted your Web server.

To ensure that ASP debugging works properly, or to address the Windows 95/Windows 98 issue, apply the patch after the BackOffice Installation Wizard has finished.

Applying the IIS Patch on Windows NT Computers

1. Run \IIS\WinNT\ASP2FIX1.exe from the installation disc.
   

   Product	Disc Location
   Visual Studio Professional Edition	CD#2
   Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition	CD#3
   Visual InterDev	CD#1

   
   
2. Restart when prompted.

Applying the IIS Patch on Windows 9x Computers

1. Stop the Web server from the Command Prompt:. Type pws/stop and press ENTER.
2. In the \<windows>\system\inetsrv directory, rename the Asp.dll file to Asp.old.
3. From the \IIS\Win9x\ directory of the installation disc, copy Asp.dll and paste it to the \<windows>\system\inetsrv directory on your computer.

   Product	Disc Location
   Visual Studio, Professional Edition	CD#2
   Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition	CD#3
   Visual InterDev	CD#1

   
   
4. Return to the Command Prompt and restart the Web server: Type pws/start and press ENTER.

Using SQL Debugging Services on a Computer with SQL Server 6.5 and Visual C++ 5.0 or Higher Installed

To use SQL Debugging services on a computer that has SQL Server 6.5 and Visual C++ 5.0 or higher installed, make sure that the Remote Automation (RA) configuration properties of the computer are set correctly.

Checking RA Configuration Properties

1. Run dcomcnfg.exe.
2. Select Remote Automation CLSID_StubMarhsaler.
3. Click Properties.
4. In the Identity tab, select Interactive User.

Also, your SQL Debugging scenarios may not work if you run SQL Server as a service under the Local System account. You must select This Account and enter a valid account and password.
