We are still trying to figure out what is the issue with some systems starting webserver.exe

I am using XPSP3 and VS2010.

I can get the webserver internal error message as well and can not run.

The 2008 version runs fine on the same machine.

I am having the same problem. If I try the latest build, I get the following when trying to install it:

An error occurred downloading the following resource:

System Specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Visual Studio Premium 2010 (all parts installed)

I have the following version: VS.Php 2.9 for Visual Studio version 2,9,1,6290.
I have the same problems as the others: Unable to start program 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Jcx.Software\VS.Php\2010\webserver.exe

I am running Windows 7 Utlimate 64 bit.

Has this been resolved? Any development done?

(Sort of) same problem here.

I previously had the trial version for VS 2008 and that worked fine. Reformatted my computer over the weekend to Windows 7 Professional (x64) and installed VS 2010 along with VS.PHP 2.9 (trial) and encountered the error message while attempting to debug:

"Unable to start program 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Jcx.Software\VS.Php\2010\webserver.exe'."

My old system was running XP, and I actually tried running both VS 2008 and VS 2010 side-by-side (both with respectable VS.PHP versions installed), and had the issue only with VS 2010. I figured this was because I had both installed, but now in this new build, I only have Visual Studio 2010. The system was just built yesterday, and while I have installed a few programs, the build is still relatively "clean".

Actually switching the "Debug Apache" advanced setting to "True" does appear to work for me unlike the other users, so I guess I'm fine with this. I'm getting MySQL errors now from the PHP parser, but I'm sure this is because I haven't reinstalled MySQL yet. Is there any difference between the "Debug Apache" settings as far as I (say, most users) should be concerned? Is there an advantage to be had by leaving the setting to False?

Specs and further information:
Windows 7 Professional (x64)
Visual Studio 2010 version 10.0.30319.1
VS.PHP 2.9 (2,9,1,6290) for Visual Studio 2010
Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Microsoft Security Essentials as anti-virus
User Account Control disabled
Windows user has administrative privileges
Windows Firewall disabled
Double clicking on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jcx.Software\VS.Php\2010\webserver.exe" gives "Invalid use of the VS.Php built-in web server".
No unusual folder permissions that I can find. I gave everything listed full access just to make sure.

I'm using whatever I get for free from DreamSpark for being a student: https://www.dreamspark.com/Products/Product.aspx?ProductId=25 . My understanding is that this is similar to the paid version.

I'll try the new build tonight and let you know. Thanks for the updates.

I'm also getting the same issues on both of my dev machines with vs2010, one being 7 ultimate x64 and my laptop with xp sp3 x32. Any progress on finding a fix?
