Things to try if you can't debug script in IE

[Monica Rosculet [MS]]

Hello everybody,

This is a problem that affects a lot of you and the simptoms are that after
you load a document containing client side script in Internet Explorer, you
don't see "Script" in the Type column in the Debug | Processes dialog for IE
and hence you cannot debug any client side script in IE. This happens most
likely because of some configuration issues in DCOM. Here are some of the
solutions we identified so far:

1. You don't have script debugging enabled on your machine. In Internet
Explorer go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced and uncheck the Disable
Script debugging box.

2. You have at least one of the following registry keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole\DefaultAccessPermissions
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole\LegacyAuthenticationLevel
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole\LegacyImpersonationLevel

just delete them. They were probably added on your machine by installing an
older software (I'm curious which one) and are not useful.
Then, reset mdm by running the following commands from a cmd prompt:
net stop mdm
net start mdm

And finally, close and re-open IE with your page.

Now, you should be able to see Script in the Processes dialog as the Type
for IE. Just attach to IE in Script mode, open your document from the Debug
| Windows | Running Documents window, set breakpoints and you should be able
to debug.

Please let me know if none of these fix your problem by sending me the
contents of the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole registry key.

Hi, "Visual C# Team",
If you say "hmm", I start afraid ...
Please, see requested mdm.ini.

Hope for your success,

Zvi

Hi Zvi,
Could you send me the contents of your HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole key to
see if there is nothing else weird there? also, did you reboot since
modifying the registry?

Thanks,
Monica Rosculet

Hi Monica,

1. See, please, the attached Word file attached to my message to you on Dec
14: it has the requested screen (i.e contents of
'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole' key).
2. It seems to me, that I did reboot. To be on the 'safe side', I'll do it
once more. But, you wrote previously about restart of 'mdm' only ...

Best regards,
