Debugging Flexsim in Visual Studio

Dear Flexsim-Team,

I develop a custom module in C++ and try to use debugging in visual studio. I followed these instructions in the flexsim manual:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.1/Reference/DeveloperAdvancedUser/ModuleSDK/Reference/Miscellaneous/Debugging/

But at the end I get the following error:

I also reproduced the error with another colleague following the instructions.

As far as I understand the debug information of the flexsim part is missing. I tried to change the visual studio settings to neglect the symbols/debug information for flexsim.dll. But this did not help. It would be nice, if you can share how to get this working.

Kind regards,

Lothar

You don't debug FlexSim.dll functions. You debug your Module.dll functions. Put a breakpoint in your module function's code and debug your module. The functions that are shown being executed in your screenshot are FlexSim Engine functions that you do not have source code or debug symbols for.
