远程调试器比此版本的 visual studio 2019 旧

Question

I'm getting up a new server, and want remotely debug my WPF application from visual studio 2019 ( version 16.1.3 ). I've downloaded the latest remote tools from here https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#remote-tools-for-visual-studio-2019 and installed to my remote device.

On the remote device, I've set the authentication mode to " No authentication ". When I try to use attach remote process to visual studio 2019. I get the error as " The Remote debugger is older than this version of visual studio 2019, upgrade your remote debugger " though I'm using the latest compatible tools on both sides. Unable to figure out the problem because no help on the inte.net is available about this issue.

Answer 1

I've figured out this problem, it's because of older version remote debugger application on the remote machine. You've to be careful which version of remote debugger application you are running for remote debugging. I mistakenly started the application "remote debugger" which was for visual studio 2017 rather than visual studio 2019.

I get this error a lot when remote debbuging in Xbox. According to documentation, “Windows 11 PCs, and Windows 10 PCs running Creator's Update (version 1703) and later, Windows 10 Xbox, IoT, and HoloLens devices install the remote tools automatically when you deploy the app.”

The thruth is that some time I get stuck in the deploy error with the above message. The only way to fix this is to exit develloper mode with "delete side loaded apps and games" checked and then enable developper mode again.
