Office 2003 and Machine Debug Manager Error
I have been working to get Office 2003 virtualized and deployed in a testing environment. When I deployed my SVS package I keep getting a hardware install screen popping up when I restarted. It didn't need to find any drivers because under admin it goes away after a minute or two. But under a limited account it produces errors.
If I clicked fast enough under a admin account I could see what the "device" was and it said Machine Debug Manager.
At first I thought some driver just wasn't installed correctly but when the same problem popped up right after I put my SVS package on the computer I thought something must be up with my package. I haven't found the exact cause of the problem but I have found a fix.
The first fix is the one that ended up working for me.
Open run and enter: (note quotation marks are needed)
"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe" /unregserver
Click Ok then enter the following:
"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe" /regserver
Click Ok then reboot the computer.
Or try this:
- Start->Run regedit.exe
- Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppId\{9209B1A6-964A-11D0-9372-00A0C9034910}
- Delete 'AccessPermission' and 'LaunchPermission'
- Start->Run cmd.exe
- "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe" /regserver
- net stop mdm
- net start mdm
Hopefully this will be helpful to someone as it took me quite some time to figure out.
