Debug code on machine without installing Visual Studio

I have one test machine that my program needs to run on that machine. It fails to run but I don't know the reason.

I want to debug the code on that machine to check the issue without installing Visual Studio 2012 on that machine. I have the source code of the program. What should I do?

Thanks.

Solution

  • You will need to use the remote debugging tools, go to your start menu, find your visual studio and expand it, find Visual Studio Tools and then remote debugging folder.

    When you have this copy the x86 or x64 folder over to the machine you want to debug on and run the application or web page and msvsmon.exe.

    Then on your machine from the debugging menu attach to process, and then target the machine that you want to run against.

    Then look for the process you want to debug
