I am tryingt to run the CD version of Digital Mars C/C++ compiler
on Windows Vista x64. As far as I can tell it all works except for
the debugger, which reports "cannot load program" for any programs
I build (they work when executed without the debugger). Am I
expecting too much in trying to run the debugger on Vista x64? Is
there any work around?

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer on this.

What is your User Account Control (UAC) settings?
That has to be OFF and than restart Vista. Otherwise you will have 
problems running any debugger AFAIK.

Jan, thank you for your response on my problem.  I have tried both
with and without UAC and with and without Administrator privileges
but the debugger response is always that it cannot load the
program.

  best regards,

Well, indeed, both are probably required to run the debugger... Thus UAC 
  off and Administrator rights.
Just to make sure... You did restart the system after you turned UAC off 
right?

I will see if I can try this tomorrow when I am at a Vista machine.

Hello Jan,

Yes I rebooted after turning UAC off.  I also tried all these
combinations on two different machines Vista x64 with the same
results.

Than you for being willing to help out on this - I much appreciate
your efforts.
