If you had to chance to work extensively with QTP 10 debugger, you must have noticed that it isn’t as robust as QTP 9.5 debugger. Many users have encountered a wide array of problems, from breaking the PDM.DLL hack, to disappearing complex values (occurs sometimes when working with external objects in the debugger). Some of these problems stem from a build in latency in the new .Net framework, which times out the debuggers request before receiving the answer from an external object).
These problems have been an inconvenience to some, and a deal-breaker to others – and they will be addressed in an upcoming patch from HP.
I’ve been told that the patch is undergoing though massive QA, to make sure all the critical issues are resolved before releasing it to HP’s software update site.
You could expect the patch to come out in the near future. Of course we will keep you updated on any further developments.

HELP!
RE: PDM.DLL
This worked wonderfully until we upgraded to QTP v9.5!
I loved the power of a upgraded debugger in QTP. Any assistance would be apreciated.
Please feel free to email me :)
