    VS08, VMware7 remote debugging in guest Win7

    So I've been stuck on this all day.

    Host computer is Windows7ultimat e-64bit. Visual Studio 2008, VMwareWorkstati on7.

    VMware guest OS: WinXPpro-32 bit.
    Remote debugging works fine.

    VMware guest OS: Win7ult-32 bit.
    Remote debugging gets as far as: Msvsmon started a new server named 'VMDebug@VMwin7 x32. Waiting for new connection..."
    but no new connection is created from Visual Studio, which then times out saying that the debugging session in the VM failed to start.

    I have been through every back-alley forum I can Google. I know all the right security settings that I have found documented AND THEY WORK for a guest OS of XP.

    I just can't find the missing piece to this puzzle in Windows 7.

    Anyone else using VMware to do Visual Studio debugging? Any hints or tricks out there? When I finally make this work there is going to be a Insights article so nobody else has to waste a day on this.
