If you switch the debugger to "Mago", the conversion is no longer
needed, so you can still build and debug Win32 executables.

mago gives "cannot launch debugger on %appname%. hr = 897...", so only
x64 debugger left for usage

Are you sure that you are not trying to debug a 64-bit executable with
mago? Maybe the working directory is invalid, this can also cause
problems.

If it still fails, please show the full error code, maybe I can guess
what's going wrong.

Are there any news on that issue ?
I get the same error Messages as mentioned with these debuggers:
VS and VS (x86 Mixed Mode) OUTPUT: AppName.pdb: cannot load PDB helper DLL
Mago WIN ERROR MESSAGE: cannot launch debugger on AppNamel.exe hr =
89710016

AppName is a 32-Bit executable.

Its on a fresh installed Win 8 with VS2013, unfortunately no old VS2012
dlls available. Would it help to upgrade to Win 8.1 ?

Have you tried the latest beta version [1]? This had some improvements in cv2pdb to find the ms*pdb.dll and some fixes in mago aswell.

Launching a program with a non-existing working directory causes this problem, too. Maybe you have made a typo there?
