Debug Error with STM8L using ST Visual Development Tools and Cosmic STM8 on Windows 11

[ricks]

We are working with an STM8L with ST Visual Development Tools and Cosmic STM8 on Windows 11 and the ST-LINK/V2 and SWIM Connector.  We can compile, build, and program but NOT debug. We get the attached Debug Error:

We have tried the recommendations from previous posts such as running the Command Lines:

Regsvr32 /u 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL'
Regsvr32 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL

We also tried the ST Toolset.msi and tried to perform repairs.  We even uninstalled and reinstalled it and tried it again.  We still get by the error shown in the attachment.

We believe the issue might be related to Microsoft preventing the 32-bit version of the database engine on Windows 11 since it uses the 64-bit version (our machines are 64-bit).

PLEASE HELP!

Here is an update to my previous post.  

We got it working by installing on another Windows 11 Machine that did NOT have Microsoft Office.

As we posted on the Forum:

"We believe the issue might be related to Microsoft preventing the 32-bit version of the database engine on Windows 11 since it uses the 64-bit version (our machines are 64-bit)."

If this is the case, the ST Technical Team should really come up with a solution as we are sure that countless customers would have Windows 11 machines with Microsoft Office.
