VB has a 'Unable to start Debugging' error

[furtech]

When a user tries to execute their code in Visual Basic (part of Visual Studio .Net 2003) they receive the following error:

Microsoft Development Environment

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

Access is denied. Verify that you are an administrator or a member of the 'Debugger Users' group on the machine you are trying to debug. After being added to the 'Deuber Users' group, you must log off and back on for the setting to apply.

The users are part of the Debugger Group and also the VS Developer group. It will debug code fine if an Administrator is logged in.

I believe it was working fine only a few weeks ago, so I'm thinking its some kind of MS Update that's triggered the problem.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

So it's a user that is getting the error, or a developer?

I had the same problem when I started a new job last year. I had to be made an administrator on my local PC (I'm a developer).

It's actually at a school, so we don’t want to make them local admins.

Thanks,

Is it a Windows Forms app, or an ASP .NET app?

Possible things to check may be an Anti-virus softwareinstallation blocking thing or the Windows Firewall
