reinstalling 2003 debuggers

Howdy!
My debugger stopped working! I can build a project, but then the debugger pops the Access denied message about not being in the debugger users group. Obviously, I am--and have been--since I installed the product a year and a half ago.

I tried repairing the installation, but that doesn't help. Is there a way to reinstall just the debugger

Thanks,
--Chris

    FYI.....

    Just finished up with support @ Microsoft. The fix for me was reinitializing the just-in-time compiler. Here is the process. It doesn't have to be done with admin rights, but you do have to reboot after for changes to take affect.

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe /service
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\vs7jit.exe /regserver

    Believe it or not, that was all it took. Still not sure what caused the corruption, but at least this was an easy fix.

    I'm having a problem where the mdm.exe file is no longer on my system. What I had done was to install the "Microsoft Application Verifier". For some reason, even with all monitoring turned off it caused some of my installed applications to fail with strange exceptions and I did not find any way to turn it off. I could not find the uninstall for the program so what I did was go back to a system restore point just prior to installing the Verifier.

    Now, however, I get errors related to not being able to find mdm.exe ... which is true since it is not present in the Common Files\VS7DEBUG directory ... the vs7jit.exe file is not there either.

    I do have a backup directoy ( VS7DEBUG_OLD) that has those files but I'm not sure it they are "current".

    So, my question is how to repair/reinstall the proper files. If I do a repair on VS.Net will that do what I need

    Thanks
