Problem debugging 64 bit application in vc++.net

Hi,

I have problem debugging 64 bit application in vc++.net

i have64-bit IntelXeon processor.

i have the following installed elements.

1) OS :- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 [Standard Edition x64 Service Pack 1]

2)Microsoft Development Environment 2003 ver7.1

3) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

4)Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1

i builded my VERY SIMPLE app in 64 bit mode by invoking the IDE through Platform SDK build environment using "Set Win Svr 2003 x64 Build Env (Debug)" option.

i successfully builded my application to create 64 bit EXE after modifying the necessary project settings.
My Application correctly displays the sizeof(pointer) as 8 bytes which
confirms my settings and requirments.

...But When I Try To Debug My App I Get The Following Message

"unable to start debugging
unable to start program "verysimple.exe"
the specified file is an unrecognised or unsupported binary format..
"
well i could not figure out the problem.

if vc++.net can create binary executable that runs successfully then
why do i get the above message when i attempt to debug the same app.
please help me..

Using Visual Studio 2003 (7.1) with the PSDK to build a 64bit application is not actually a supported scenario. It does happen to work (usually), but VS wasn't built to support this. And unfortunately there is no 64bit debugging component in VS2003.

If you want to use Visual Studio to do 64bit debugging, you will have to use Visual Studio 2005 (we do have Beta2 and the July CTP available, which can debug 64bit applications).
