Hi Reinhard,

I was trying to find some more info for your problem and hit this excellent
blog...
http://blogs.msdn.com/mkpark/articles/86872.aspx

Withing this page find your problem for which solution is defined as
"You can’t start debugging because “mscordbi.dll” is not registered
properly. Please register it manually. "

Another info I found is here....

Just try it and let me know...

With Best Regards
