Lee,
Thank you for the clarification.
I removed the 'dbgeng.dll' and 'dbghelp.dll' DLLs from the Slickedit\win directory and verified that the DebugCreate error would occur.
The DLLs are set in the system path as I can launch WinDbg from the standard windows command line. One would think that Slickedit would find these DLLs as well.
I modified the 'def_windbg_path' variable as per your suggestion, applied the changes, exited and restarted Slickedit. The DebugCreate error continues to occur.
I am content with copying the DLLs to the Slickedit/win directory but in the interest of determining the root of the problem (if it is really a Slickedit specific problem) is there any additional information that I can provide to assist in solving this issue?
Addidtionally, if any of the other users experiencing the behaviour could report what settings worked or had no effect would be valuable.
Best regards,
Jeremy
