Debugging an install containing objects on any machine

Hi all,

I am trying to debug an installation on a user's machine using the /d option, but have been unsuccessful. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

The project is pure Installscript project which includes several objects.
During the command build, I generate inline debugging information for all objects (using the -g option for compile.exe and the run the ISCmdBld.exe with the -n option so that it does not compile again)
I then add all the objects to the master project and perform the same procedure for the master project.

Can someone please tell me what else I need to do to get the debugger working on an end user's machine?

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed and registered the debug utility?

Yes, I have done that. I am not sure what to copy over to the user's machine in order to be able to debug the install.

What about debugging for a Basic MSI project? Is there any way to do that?
I am trying to run the debugger for a IS CA on my MSI project and I can't get the debugger to trigger.
I am launching the setup.exe as follow:
setup.exe /v"ISSCRIPTDEBUG=1 ISSCRIPTDEBUGPATH=\"D:\ISDbg\""
