Issue with side by side install vs2008 vs2013

Question

I have recently installed Visual studio 2013 along side 2008. I find however that I get an error now when attempting to debug c++ projects. I assume that vs2013 must have replaced the original debug engine. Do I need to source the original debug engine, or is there some other known workaround for this?

If they had just left mixed mode stuff alone it would be ok, but MS makes it real difficult to target dotnet 2.0 with vs2013, plus other things that prevent me from upgrading the solution at this time.

Answer 1

Ok, here is the answer, for anyone who finds via google.

Somehow, my master solution was set to attempt to debug the dll, rather than the proper exe. The first option that presents itself when attempting to debug a dll is regsvr32.exe, which was selected at some previous point, but is incorrect.

@Hans Passant, You are correct, it wasn't what I though it was.
