Problem during debugging in visual C++ 2008 express

Question

Whenever I try to debug a VC++ 6.0 project in Visual C++ 2008 express edition which (the project) includes exported dll files it displays the following error:

"Debugging information for 'regsvr32.exe' cannot be found or does not match. Symbols not loaded."

Obviously the problem has got to be the debugger not being able to find or use some executable file required during the debugging process. By default it uses the regsvr32.exe but trying to change it to anything else gives an error too. What am I supposed to do as I am comparatively amateur at using VC++?

Well, Regsvr32.exe is the windows tool that you use to register a COM server with. On first thoughts, it sounds like you may be registering a COM dll and are trying to single-step through that particular phase.

On further reading, it's not a problem - just ignore it and continue. The OS isn't generally released with debugging info - hence you can't find it.
