 Interesting, I didn't know about it, what exactly is it part of? I don't
have it in my VC9 installation (which normally installs Vista SDK).

 You probably should be able to use remote debugging from the machine where
VC is installed.

 Normally wxEntryCleanup will delete the application, do you mean it
doesn't happen during your test?
