I installed the Professional Editions with all options except C++ and SQL
Express.
On my Build Menu I only have the following:
Build
Publish
On the Debug Menu I am *missing* the following:
Step In
Step Out
Exceptions
The exceptions going missing has caused me several wasted hours trying to
debug a program as it wasn't on the menu I assumed the feature wasn't
available in VS2005!
I have another version of VS2005 installed running under Virtual PC and
when I went and checked the menus on that version, they were all there! So
I'm at a loss as to why key features are missing from my VS menus and
under what circumstances.
Knowing what features are available is key to learning the product, to
have them disappear or not install causes all kinds of grief.
I've seen others complaining about Exceptions not being on the Debug menu
but as yet no one has posted a reason as yet.

As there are obvious differences, have you tried resetting your primary
options using this technique?
Choose Tools->Import and Export Settings...
Select Reset All Settings, then click Next
Select whether you wish to save the current settings, then click Next
(You'll now see a list of settings options - roles if you will)
Choose General Development or one of the languages, then click Finish.
If that does not help, all I can come up with is try a repair install or a
complete uninstall/reinstall on the problem installation.
