I'm trying to remove all traces of Visual Studio manually as the uninstaller won't work.

The last thing I need to do is to re-define the debugger Windows uses. Its set to the Visual Studio Just In Time debugger.

Using the second method from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/923827 I know what to do. However I don't know what the value for this key should be by default on Windows XP. Can any who has the default debugger in operation paste their HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug for me, perhaps using the code tags?
Code:
Registry key in here
 
Hello MarcLister,

Was faced with a similar issue, only with restoring the original debugger (Dr. Watson) after switching off all the just in time debugger stuff in Visual Studio 2008 (as it tended to get in the way of the functioning of other applications). So, here's the string off a fresh Windows XP (SP3) (32-bit) installation (sans Visual Studio 2008 Professional):

drwtsn32 -p %ld -e %ld -g

Hope this helps (even if you did had to wait until 2023 for an answer).

Why reply to a thread from 2007 about Windows XP which I doubt anyone would still be using today?

Also, Why sign up today and make this your first post?
