    Hi,

    I just installed Visual GDB on a Win 8.1 machine with Visual Studio 2013 and .NET 4.5.1. The installation went well and all of Visual GDB’s dialog’s are accessible from the Visual Studio IDE. However, when I try to build/run/debug I get a request to install .NET 3.5 and the build process ends immediately. This happens whenever I try to run the Visual GDB executable.

    What am I doing wrong? Is Visual GDB not compatible with .NET 4.5?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    VisualGDB is a .Net 2.0 executable (to make it compatible with Visual Studio 2005). When it is loaded into Visual Studio 2013, it is loaded as a .Net 2.0 assembly into a .Net 4.5 process. However when you run the executable, Windows detects that .Net 2.0 is missing and shows a prompt to install it (v3.5 includes v2.0). Please proceed with installing it, this won’t downgrade any existing frameworks but will simply provide support for .Net 2.0 applications.
