Can't start debugger in VS2012 RC

Question

Configuration:

• Windows 7, 64 bit
• Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 RC Version 11.0.50522.1 RCREL
• Running VS in administrator mode

Answer 1

I personally encountered some comparable problem: Visual Studio 2010 did not begin debugging but froze.

When I clicked VS it displayed a "Wait some more" or "Switch to" message box which didn't help me.

Using a task manager I could kill the *.vshost.exe process which brought VS back to life but aborted the debugging. Launching the program without debugging started the application instantly.

Solution:

Disable the indexing service for your code directories! Either deactivate the index service or uncheck the folders in the Indexing Service control panel.
