Surely the answer will be "you can't" or "use XP mode", but I'd like to know if it it possible.

The issue I have is that whenever I debug some application and hit a breakpoint, when I stop the debugger the debuggee remains stuck. It can't be killed, I can't attach another debugger (it says it is already being debugged). It won't go away until I close Visual C++.

This is hapenning on a Windows 7 64 bits install. VC has SP 6 installed.

My previous fix was horrible.

Finally, I developped a new fix, working perfectly with the english version of Visual Studio 6. (SP6 I think)

You need to check the version of the file DM.dll located into "Common/MSDev98/Bin"

The correct version is 6.0.9782.0.

how to install: replace "Common/MSDev98/Bin/TLLOC.dll" by the version downloaded.

Best regards.
