    Has anybody ever succeeded at using Visual Studio 2002 to remotely
    debug a classic ASP application with the remote server running Windows
    NT and IIS 4? I have spent (wasted really) the entire day trying to
    get this to run.

    We are required by our governmental customer to support our "classic"
    ASP app for a legacy environment of NT 4 service pack 6a and no .NET.
    I am testing an issue that we see in IIS4 but not in IIS5 or later.
    We use Visual Studio .NET instead of Visual InterDev because it
    integrates much better with source control.

    For the purpose of testing compatibility issues, I created an image
    file of our clean testbed server, and then installed the remote
    debugging components. I have done quite a bit of research, and
    followed the instructions in the "ASP Remote Debugging Setup" MSDN
    library article to the letter. My Windows login is a local admin on
    the web server and is also in the "Debugger Users" group. I have read
    the excellent troubleshooting document in Microsoft Word format from
    GotDotNet.com. I have searched Microsoft's Knowledge Base.

    The best I can do is to get the error message:

    "Auto-attach to process '[240] mtx.exe' on machine 'TB-IRRI-NT'
    failed. Error code 0x80040002 (Can't enumerate any more, because the
    associated data is missing )."

    I tried doing this with a Windows 2000 server a while back and didn't
    have too much trouble (relatively speaking). I realize that I'm
    trying to do something tricky here -- has anybody else succeeded?

    - Rob
