Fatal error starting kernel debugging on every deployment on Mac

Question

I am writing a FireMonkey HD application on my computer with Windows 32 bits and deploying (remote debugging) it to my MacBook using Snow Leopard. I am running a trial version of Delphi XE2.

Everything works fine except for one: every other launch . I click the following error when I press F9:

Fatal error while starting the debugging kernel: "Invalid debugger request". Save your work and restart Delphi XE2.

Restarting XE2 and starting up again fixes this problem ... for one run and then repeating the same error again. Regardless of whether I stop the debugging process through CTRL-F2 or gracefully close the application on a Mac, it does not matter. This happens in every project (including new ones, empty with a single FireMonkey form). The PAServer terminal has no information, it is still "listening".

Anyone have any tips on how to avoid this problem?

Answer 1

Installing the full version of Delphi XE2 (including update 1) seems to have completely solved my problem.

I checked the Error Fix List for any links, but there wasn’t such luck. Well, the problem is gone anyway.

[EDIT] And now, the very next day, the problem reappears.

Answer 2

Delphi 10 gives a similar adventure (Win32 → Win32 target). This is the “usual thing” for the remote debugger.
