Bug 12565 – IDE cannot launch Mago debugger starting from v0.3.38-beta3

E.g. when a new console project is created and debugging is started using Mago the only result is a popup dialog with this error message: --- cannot launch debugger on <exe-file-path> hr = 89710016 ---

Since this release (probably because of author's environment reset) all Mago DLLs require Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. So I'd say it is a major documentation issue, as debugging breakage without an appropriate error message or any new requirements in changelog is rather bad.

Ouch, the new runtime should not be necessary or included in the installer. I switched to the new VS after a fatal crash of my SSD, but did not think about the new dependency. Thanks for finding it.

I have rebuilt mago with static linkage of the CRT: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases/tag/v0.3.38-1

Build fixed in 0.3.38-1

mago commit 59d55f2 [1] reintroduced the issue, this time because of Wow64*Wow64FsRedirection functions which are not present on Windows XP. Opened fixing pull [2]. [1] https://github.com/rainers/mago/commit/59d55f2f99aa57447e1ba4d635eb5ab6d17b6b71 [2] https://github.com/rainers/mago/pull/4

Finally released as part of https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v0.44-beta2 (must heve been in beta1, too)
