standalone debugger

[k3pto]

Somehow I have accidentally enabled the Standalone Debugger. Every time I execute Compile/Run it come up. I have tried reviewing all the options but did not find anything that I recognized as helpful. How do I get it to stop?

[skywalk]

Open Compiler Options - Compile/Run:
Debugger:
[x] Enable Debugger
[ ] Enable Purifier
[x] Use selected Debugger: Integrated IDE Debugger ;<-- THIS
[ ] Use Warning mode:

Hi Skywalk,

Thank you for the suggestion but it did not work. I still get the stand alone debugger.

BTW: I am using the demo version and my program is almost 600 lines. I do not know what PB does when the demo version should no longer work.

I found the options in a slightly different place than skywalk.

File Menu>Preferences
Debugger: Choose Debugger Type -> select Integrated IDE Debugger from drop-down list


The Compiler Options that skywalk mentions are only for the current file being compiled and may not be effective or available if not enabled in the Preferences to begin with.


Regarding using the demo version on a large source file I believe it simply gives an error that the source size is more than is allowed with the demo version and stops.

Hi Demivec,

Thank you for the suggestion. Still no joy

Did you tick the "request administrator mode" box?

Hi HeXOR,

Yes I did and that is the problem - no more standalone debugger! That seems to be a very odd response to asking for admin privileges.

Any idea why they are linked?

It's probably because the IDE isn't allowed to read content from the compiled program,
because the IDE itself has not been run with administrator privileges.

As far as I know, the standalone debugger is included in the EXE so it can access its own data.

... the IDE itself has not been run with administrator privileges ...

If you start the IDE with "Run as Administrator"

you can compile/run and debug with the integrated debugger even if Admin mode is requested.

Just tested right now with PB 5.50
