Hi,

I am trying to port one of my VC++ 6.0 32 bit windows application to
Windows XP 64 bit os.

This application runs perfectly on windows xp 32bit os without any
problem.

I used Windows XP 64 bit build environment (Debug) from PSDK for
windows 2003 R2 to port my application, and created the suitable
configuration and made all the necessary settings to the
configuration.

In fact I was able to compile and link the application without any
errors.

My problem is I am getting a message "does not contain debug
information. Press OK to Continue" when I try to debug the application
with or without breakpoints.

Why I want to debug is, The application is not working fine and
popping up some error messages, I want to catch them at runtime and
fix them up.

Can anybody help me in this regard.

this news group deals with standard C and platform specific stuff.
You need to re-post on another (probably microsoft) relevant ng.

[OT] the debugger needs debug information. Try typeing "debug info"
into the Help

That will be news to your master and mentor "Mr Me" Heathfield.

Good catch, but I assume that the word "not" being dropped was merely a typo.

Being a pedantic arsehole does not come easy to me, so to suck up to the
regular c.l.c clique I jump at every opportunity. Think along the lines
of "Chuck" soiling his pants trying to be first to tell someone that
main() must return something or the like.

Indeed.

But point taken - being a pedantic arsehole is hard work - for those of
us for whom it doesn't come naturally.

Indeed.

I realise this will surprise you, but it was abundantly clear that it
was a typo as made very clear by the other replies. But when discussing
topicality and being an anal jobs worth , could I suggest that you get
it right and not 100% *wrong* when stating what the topicality is?

Isn't the C standard something one *should* be pedantic about - at least
in a C newsgroup? At least that's what standards were made for. Sure, a
5/16 inch bolt might fit a 1/4 inch nut - but shouldn't be there people
telling you "well, what you're doing *might* work, but it might as well
just screw up whatever you're doing as soon as you change the screw vendor"?

Then again, thinking about it - looking like you and your sock puppet
are trollfeeding each other. Yeah well.

Regards,
Johannes
