How to debug on win98 or ME?

Hi All,
I developed my program on win2000 using VC++7.0, it also works well on
WinXp, but unfortunately it crashs on 98 or ME, since VS. Net can't run on
Win98, I can't debug it. The program is very complicated and would be very
difficult just by TRACE. Can anyone suggest a better way for debugging on
Win 98? Thanks a lot.

You should read up on remote debugging here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...bugMonitor.asp

To use remote debugging you install a debug version of your application on
the target computer along with a small monitor program and associated DLLs.
Then you use the IDE on the machine where you have it installed. Your
interactive commands to the debugger are sent from source to target machine
over an IP link (or less commonly a serial connection).

To be honest, I have debugged '98 machines using VC6 never VS.Net. I presume
you'll be able to use VS.Net's remote debugger but you will have to check
the requirements. I you have trouble, post again with the details.

Regards,
Will

Hi Will,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I read the documents about remote debugger,
it's exactly what I want, I have a questiona about the system requirement,
Win98 must be on a domain, that means I have to install a server, currently,
I have only two computers, for remote debugging, I will install Win98 on one
computer, install win2000 server on another, then install Visual Studio.Net
on Win2000 Server, I'm not sure if Win2000 Server support VS.Net?, Could you
please tell me if this is a feasible solution? Thanks!

Best Regards,
Kay

Kay,

If you use the msvcmon remote debugging facility, it's unsecure, but
trivial to set up and use, no domain necessary.

I have setup the TCP/IP debug, step by setup with the source code,
everything is simply perfect! Cheers!!
Thank you very much!
