Failed to start debugging message in VS 2008

I have this message when I run debug in VS 2008:

Error trying to start a project: cannot start debugging

Because of this, I can no longer debug any programs. Any ideas what causes this?

I had this problem when I transferred the code from another machine. I continued to receive this message while trying to debug until I completely cleaned the output directory (I just manually deleted everything in it). Once I did this, I could work in debug mode.

Sometimes this means that the URL that you configured for the project in the project properties does not match what is in IIS.

Assuming the client application, not the web application, you can try:

  • Make sure you run Visual Studio as an administrator (upgraded).
  • Make sure you create your project and have the appropriate characters (.pdb and .exe have the same timestamps).
  • Make sure you are not debugging the application using VS or another debugger.

It is also possible if application debugging is enabled in VS-> Server Explorer or CLR / SQL debugging is enabled.

A shutdown that may solve the problem.

Make sure that you are a member of the Administrators group and the Debugger Users group on the computer.

I got this error after our system administrators added new security settings. Added the ASP user to the Administrators group and resolved it.
