remote debug on xp with modern code Topic is solved

[mael15]

hi everyone,
i have to debug a program running on windows xp and i have to stay on xp because the program uses older hardware that only runs on xp. i am currently coding on win10 with visual studio 2015 which does not support remote debugging for xp anymore. so i thought i could just install visual studio 2010 with xp remote debugging support, code with vs2015 and remote debug with vs2010. thing is, i have more modern things like "enum class" in my code, so i cannot compile with vs2010. another thing: i have a xp hardware related bug when starting the program, so i cannot connect the debugger to the running program.
how can debug the program starting on xp?!
thanx!

you might have a go at using a seperate debugger like IDA https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/ or olly or even windbg.
IDA is absolutely fantastic but I am not sure if it still runs on XP
