Debug Error with PrimalScript 4.1

Post by johnferrell@micron.com »

When I attempt to run the PrimalScope Debugger that is integrated into PrimalScript Professional 4.1, I get a message that says, "Cannot instantiate Process Debug Manager. Reason: 0x80040154". I searched the Knowledgebase and found an exact match but the solution was to post the question here. So, How do I get the PrimalScope debugger working in PrimalScript Professional 4.1? If it matters, I'm running XP+SP2 with all available MS security patches. johnferrell@micron.com2006-11-22 05:54:08

Try running PrimalScript.exe /RESETDEBUGGER once


Note that the parameter MUST be in uppercase.

Thanks. That fixed it. I had previously tried uninstalling/reinstalling PrimalScript which did not work. Strangely, that also seems to have fixed another problem I was having when launching PrimalScript as well. I was getting an access denied message on the readme.htm file that I'm no longer getting. Strange.

Hi Alex,

First of all check if you have the Machine Debug Manager running?
Nothing in the debugger changed between those builds BTW.
Please note that the parameter MUST be all in uppercase.

Hi Alex,
What is the 'Machine Debug Manager', never heard of that before?
I understand that you guys have not changed anything in the debugger between those versions, I did NOT change any of my options either. I was very surprised that the debugger could NOT initialize, I have hed it working on this machine before and at work (under Win2000) the debugger works as it always has.
In the error dialog that I am getting it is NOT showing the 'Reason: 0x80040154' part of the message, it just says that it cannot instantiate the debuggger.

The Machine Debug Manager is a service.
Please check your services panel.
This is the most common cause of failure alongside with insuffient rights.

If you do NOT have this service in your services, search your hard drive for MDM.exe
and let us know where and what versions you found.

Hi Alex,

This is the other thread where I reported the problem with the debugger, because it seemed to fit this topic.

Hi Alex,
Yes I did and it is the same as it has always been, as far as I can tell. It is also entered as a service as it should be and was NOT disabled.
