How to stop IE by asking which debugger to choose when ** trying ** to debug **?

When debugging in Internet Explorer; First, I get a warning window with extremely limited, if not useless information (sorry IE), and the choice to debug it; After choosing yes; I get one more option every time to select "New instance of Microsoft script debugger" and "New instance of Visual Studio". I’m tired of clicking the "Yes" button again, clicking it already in the warning window.

Update: I found that you can disable the microsoft script debugger from your own options; just disabling the JIT debugger from Tools -> Options and JIT. This stops its appearance in the menu, but now I get a dialog box asking which one to choose, and it only displays one Visual Studio - WHY? If there is only one option, and you have already asked me if I want to debug, why ask again?!?! Bleh.

Can you say that I'm sick of clicking yes twice? Lol

Apparently, the problem arises if you do not remove the old (crappy) Microsoft Script Debugger before installing the new Microsoft Script editor.

You might think that all you have to do is delete the old debugger, however, according to the blog post (which I can’t remember at the moment), if you remove the Microsoft Script debugger at this moment, it will ruin the MSE, and you will have to install MSE again. Now I am in a busy schedule, so I do not have time to fix the problem correctly - just live with it as best as possible.

Perhaps not a complete solution, but you can try installing the default debugger, the script can be installed directly in the registry . To do this, follow these steps:

  • Click Start, Run, and type regedit.exe
  • Go to the following branch:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \ {834128A2-51F4-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} \ LocalServer32

  • Backing up a branch by exporting it to a file

  • In the above key, double-click the default (default) and set its values:

    "C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 \ Common7 \ IDE \ devenv.exe"

    (or whatever your path to devenv.exe is)

  • Exit registry editor.

If all other solutions do not work, you can try a different route: using the macro language (à la AutoHotkey or AutoIt) to reject all the hints with one key ...

This is not what you are asking for, but others coming into this thread may want to know how to completely disable them. Just disable debugging together:

Options -> Advanced -> Browsing -> Disable script debugging.

Just turn off Machine Debug Manager in the list of services!

This is due to the fact that it was designed just in time for debugging.

As a rule, I have several instances of Visual Studio, and this small box lists them all so that I can choose the right one. You might think that it would be smart enough to choose one option if there is only one option, but it is not.
