I'm getting the error "cannot load PDB helper DLL" at the end of each build (GDC and DMD) when running Visual D on the Visual Studio 11 Beta. I see that this error typically occurs when dealing with a Visual Studio distribution without C/C++ support, but I'm seeing it on two machines, one with VS11 Ultimate and one with VS11 Professional (both machines are running Win8). I'm not sure what to do about it since I'm running full VS and not a shell.

Is this a matter of a DLL missing even though I'm using a full install and not a shell? Is this setup expected to work at all at the moment?

Hi,

cv2pdb (the debug conversion tool to get pdb files) has no support for VS11 yet. I investigated it a little, and it turns out that

- VS11 uses a different DLL to interface the pdb server
- even if cv2pdb just loads the other DLL, the interfaces seem slightly different.

I think I can fix it for the next release. The current workaround is to have the DLLs and server files from older versions somewhere (see http://dsource.org/projects/cv2pdb/wiki/Installation ).

It should work now with VisualD-v0.3.33rc1.exe from the downloads folder.
