Author Using VS .net 2003 with Win Xp SP2 installed with a non-administrator account.

Hi,

I am in the process of assessing Windows XP Service Pack 2 before I
deploy it to the hundreds of PCs in our department. The first problem
I have encountered is with Visual Studio.net 2003:

When attempting to "start" (press F5) a project as a non-privileged
user the following error is encountered:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.

Access is denied. Verify that you are an administrator or a
member of the 'Debugger Users' group on the machine you are
trying to debug. After being added to the 'Debugger Users'
group, you must log off and log back on for the setting to
apply."

It goes without saying that I have tried adding the user to the
"Debugger Users" group. I have also tried granting various extra
rights to the user (e.g. "Debug Programs", "Logon as a batch job",
etc.). Nothing short of making the user a member of the
"Administrators" group works. This is not an acceptable solution.

Notes:
1. The same error occurs if I "Start without debugging" (Press
Ctrl+F5).
2. I am not attempting remote debugging, so this should have nothing
to do with the new Windows Firewall.
