I've a very annoying problem with visual studio 2012/2013, on both version it's not able to attach the debugger for a x64 application. The debugging for application configured with AnyCpu or x86 is working without problems. I can't simply switch a part of my programs to x86 applications, because I'm develop azure webroles which have to be x64 application.
How it looks when I start to debug:
After a while of waiting a window pops up which show:
When I click Terminate, sometimes the same window pops up again.
After I clicked Terminate again, it shows this window:
Or this instead, when I'm trying to debug a azure webrole hoste in the azure emulator:
I'm frustraited now and I hope you guys can help me.
The list of things I've tried:
- Reinstalled VS 2012/2013 (both of them)
- Checked firewall rules, they're ok.
- Checked for 3rd party network software,
none found NIC's driver (See Edit)
- Reinstalled azure tools
- Reinstalled IIS 7.5 (in Programs and Features)
- Done a lot of research in web but found nothing that worked.
At last the Windows7 installation is from two days ago (01.13.2014).
EDIT: After hours of research, testing, tons of reoots and reinstallations, I found the cause. It's the netowrk card driver. I've a Bogfoot Network Killer Ethernet Controller which needs a special "3rd party" driver. It's working when I uninstall the driver. I'll try to install a normal nic (Intel/Realtek, if I find one) tomorrow and post the result here.
