Running a simple node debugging session on visual studio code fails with the message:

Program 'node.dll' failed to run: No application is associated with the specified file 

This is the message from Debug Console:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\node.dll --inspect-brk=12232 probe.js Error processing "launch": Error: spawn UNKNOWN at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11) at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:323:11) at Object.exports.spawn (child_process.js:514:9) at NodeDebugAdapter.launchInInternalConsole (c:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\ms-vscode.node-debug2\out\src\nodeDebugAdapter.js:311:32) at NodeDebugAdapter.<anonymous> (c:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\ms-vscode.node-debug2\out\src\nodeDebugAdapter.js:190:28) at Generator.next (<anonymous>) at fulfilled (c:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\ms-vscode.node-debug2\out\src\nodeDebugAdapter.js:7:58) at <anonymous> 

Re-installing Visual Studio Code temporary fixes the problem so that I am able to launch the debugging session, but I still this error message on every launch:

If I close visual studio code and start it again, it is back to not working with the same error message. My launch.json looks like this:

{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "node", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Program", "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\probe.js", "console": "integratedTerminal" } ] } 

Any way to fix this issue permanently?

This kinda works for me. I got the error message: The module "node.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DLLUnregisterServer was not found. (same when I register it, except it's missing DLLRegisterServer). It still fixes the issue where the debugger won't start, but I still get the error message that the file does not have a program associated with it. So now I can at least debug. Thanks.
