Whenever I try to run the Clone Wars Adventures AdminClient in the debugger, I have about an 80% chance of seeing this:
This is a debug build. I most assuredly have debug symbols turned on:
And I'm not the only one to ever have this problem. People have also reported this problem on VS2008.
Oddly enough, no one else on my team has been complaining about this problem. When I start VS2005, I can generally run the client in debug once or twice and then I perpetually get this error.
Sometimes, exiting VS2005 and killing mspdbsrv.exe followed by a restart of VS2005 usually allows me to run a couple more times. However, with our huge solution (112 projects), this takes a few minutes or so. Definitely not conducive to small changes.
Some of the links above have responses from MS folks who state that they aren't able to reproduce the problem, but there is most definitely a problem.
I've only experienced this problem on our internal AdminClient, which, unfortunately, is the project that I'm most often trying to run. Other projects in the solution file seem to work just fine. I've tried several suggestions from the above links, including others like replacing dbghelp.dll with the latest version, altering the symbol search paths, trying to manually load symbols, and so on.
As a last-ditch effort, some of the links above suggest re-installing VS2005. I'll give that a shot.
If that doesn't work, I may have to become a Pirate or something.

Update: (3/23/2011): I believe I have found a work-around by using the Remote Debugging Monitor. More info in this post.
