    And here I was, thinking it was standard to use non-8.3 names nowadays.
    So what makes it restricted to 8.3? It it should call itself a Windows program?
    Oh well. Good luck with it anyway. Remote debugging could have been made easier last time I checked >_<

    OK, now I'm able to step through and debug the remote .exe, but only after clicking OK to dozens of dialogs such as:
    The project 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll' does not match the corresponding file on the remote machine.
    Is there a way to prevent it from giving me those messages and just run?

    Are you using the same OS with the same service packs, etc? [May not be viable, but if you can, it will solve the problem].

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
    Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.

    No, my dev machine is XP Pro Sp2 & remote machine is Win2003 server R2.
    Is there any way to stop those messages with different OSes?

    Sure - you just have to let the debugger know what DLL's you care about debugging.

    Project Settings -> Debug tab -> Category: "Addition DLLs" -> Uncheck "Try to locate other DLLs"
    Also, in the list of modules there, remove anything that you don't care about debugging, like rpcrt4.dll, ntdll.dll, user32.dll, etc, etc...

    You can take the used dlls from the local sytem32 dir and copy them (for debug purposes) into the folder of remote exe. It should select the dll from the current folder first - and they will be the same as on the local comp
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    I don't care about debugging any DLLs, I just want to step through the .exe. I unchecked everything, but that didn't help.

    Well, I wouldn't mess with OS dll's - trying to use XP system dll's on Server2003 may not work very well.

    End the end, there's little use for stepping-into a dll you don't have the source code for. And if you don't need to step into a dll, you can remove it from the module list under additional dll's.

    On a side note - when I have a "core dump" that I need to analyze, I use the Windows Debugger and the Microsoft Symbol Server - which will automatically download the needed symbols for any MS OS dll (which is needed for accurate stack trace sometimes). Some of my co-workers only use the windows debugger (and build off the command line) - but I'm not that "hard core"

    Do your settings look like this?

    Well I didn't delete everything in the "modules" list, I just removed the checkmarks beside the dozens of DLLs listed there as well as the "Try to locate DLLs" box.

    Remove all the modules in the list and make it look like mine - then I think the popups should go away.

    Hey that works!
    So then what does just unchecking them do?

    I'm guessing that it just prevents the loading of debug information unchecked DLLs - but doesn't prevent the warning about them not being the same across machines.
