A Quick tip To anyone who's have trouble with removing, the VMWare debugger ("Vmdebugger") from Visual Studio. Usually the first step is to run the uninstaller in VMWare and remove the debugger from the installed features. This doesn ' t work all the time though. You ' ll either has an issue saying the MSI failed, or the installer may say "rather than using the modify/change option th Rough Add/remove Programs, run the original VMWare Workstation installer again to modify this application ".

Next, start up Visual Studio and it should pops up an error message the It can ' t load up a plugin and if you want to Remov E it from the add-in Manager permanently. Hit yes, and it should stop it from loading again. Shut down Visual Studio and relaunch it to see if the plugin's now removed. If ithe error message pops up again, you'll need to run VS. Administrative mode, go through the error again, and then yo u should be set. Loading up in non-administrative mode won ' t load the plugin anymore either.

The key is to use the system administrator as the error when prompted to run VS, measured VS2010 pass.
