Just in time debugging question
I have MSVC6 and Borland C++ Builder 4 installed. I didn''t ask Borland to do this, but it changed my system so that the just-in-time debugging now uses its poxy excuse for a debugger rather than the one in Visual C++. I''d like to change this back, but can''t find a way of doing so in the options. Does anybody have any hints?
From Jeff Richter''s book:
"Internally, UnhandledExceptionFilter invokes the debugger by looking into the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Inside this subkey, there is a data value named "Debugger", which is typically set to the following value when you install Visual Studio:
...\msdev.exe -p %ld -e %ld
WINDOWS 98: These values are stored in the Win.ini file."

Hmm...Reinstalling MSVc wouldn''t work... I guess the only thing left to do is remove Borland...
That is, unless a Borland guru has a better solution for you.

Duh. Although MSVC only writes its settings to WIN.INI under Win9x, it is happy to read the setting from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug under Win9x. And that is exactly where Borland had changed things.
