PRB: Debugging an Application Driven by MS-TEST

ID: Q100957

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows 2000

SYMPTOMS

When an application driven by MS-TEST is being debugged by WinDbg or NTSD (for example, after an exception has occurred), both the application and the debugger hang.

CAUSE

The debugger is hooked and ends up hanging.

RESOLUTION

It is not possible to use NTSD or WinDbg to debug an application that is driven by MS-TEST. Use Dr. Watson (drwtsn32) instead. Note that you must turn off Visual Notification.
