Attaching the Script debugger to process '[XXXX] IEXPLORE.EXE' on machine 'NAME' failed

Few days ago I started getting the following error when I try to run/debug my web application using F5 in Visual Studio 2008:

Attaching the Script debugger to process '[XXXX] IEXPLORE.EXE' on machine 'NAME' failed. The process does not have sufficient privileges to be debugged.

I am using Visual Studio 2008, IE8 and Visual Studio Development Server(as my web server)

I did look around and couldn't find much on the web!!

I had the same problem, run this command fixed my problem:

regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll"

the key point of running this must start Command Prompt under 'Run as administrartor'

Having exited all instances of Internet Explorer (but not VS), I tried 

regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll"

but got an error message LoadLibrary(%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll) failed - 0x0000007e.

After checking the file system I found the DLL and tried this:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll"

which fixed it.

Make sure you register the dll from an elevated command prompt.

This works but it is:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\oleaut32.dll

not 

regsrv32 c:\windows\system32\oleaut32.dll
