How are you trying to debug? Are you using attach to process or just running your app in Visual Studio?

Start commandprompt (run as admin) and run the following command:

regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll

Problem solved!

Normally when this error gets thrown in IE, it's because you're trying to debug a web page using both Visual Studio and the Javascript debugger in IE at the same time. The Visual Studio debugger is already attached to the process, so the browser throws an error when it tries to do the same.

Trying viewing the page in normal mode (using Ctrl + Shift + W to view in the Browser, rather than F5), and you should be able to debug the page fine in IE.

Open Command Prompt (*Run as Administrator) and execute the following command:

on a x86 (32 bit Machine):
regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll"

on a x64 (64 bit Machine):
regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll"
