Mike,
Yup SP1 for VS2005 is installed, as well as the SP1 VS2005 Vista x64
patch. Steam runs great outside of the debugger for the most part. Only a
few quirks here and there, primarily when Steam patches itself and
restarts... sometimes it will crash or won't restart... re-run Steam and
it's fine. I get no UAC prompts ever when running Steam, so that's good...
although I don't have it installed inside of Program Files so that could
also be part of the reason why.
The only time Steam consistently crashes is when I attempt to run
HL2 and debug at the same time. As I said, I can get inside of a map just
fine and then attach the debugger. Outside of that if I attempt to debug
Steam and HL2 will just lock up and then Steam will crash (it seems to be
when it is loading the cache files).

Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Crashing on Debug
Hi Ben-
Are you on SP1 of VS 2005? If not then I suggest you install it since I
saw this in the SP1 release notes:
Debugging on 64-Bit Windows installations:
Visual Studio 2005 SP1 contains several debugger fixes that work when
you debug 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows installations. Only a
subset of these fixes work when you debug 64-bit applications on 64-bit
installations. This is because Visual Studio 2005 SP1 does not change
many of the 64-bit debugging components.
If this problem doesn't exist run running VS 2005 under other versions
of Windows then I'd say that the issue has to be a general problem
involving VS 2005, 32-bit apps, and 64-bit Vista. Steam runs OK for you
under 64-bit Vista outside of this problem with the debugger, right?
-Mike

Also, one thing I can add is that I can attach to the hl2.exe process
once a
game has been created (in a map)... but cannot until that happens.
Otherwise
steam.exe will crash.

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
you added -allowdebug on your command line from the debugger?
