Andreas,
Sounds like you compile for Microsoft Windows.
The config.nmake provides several opportunities for development environment. Which compiler version do you prefer? (2005,2008,2010)

I use the "professional" version of VC, so I have no problem with a debugger. I didn't think that the express versions come without a debugger. Probably there is a debugger in the Windows SDK, but this should match your compiler version.

After being away for close to 10 years I finally have a need for a new
protocol dissector so I started developing again. I've got one working,
but since I don't have access to Visual Studio anymore, I downloaded the
Express version. I'm assuming Microsoft thinks its debugger is secret
sauce, are there any alternatives?
